Fanatical nations rule

[Indragnir]

Tough battle, really crude, with so light armament and scarce artillery, tanks and air support both sides fight so hard that left almost 20,000 casualties.
The Lincoln btl suffered so heavily that lost 66% of its starting number in one day.

There's a sad and beautiful song about it.

"There's a valley in Spain called Jarama
It's a place that we all know so well
It was there that we gave of our manhood
And so many of our brave comrades fell.

We are proud of the Lincoln Battalion
And the fight for Madrid that it made
There we fought like true sons of the people
As part of the Fifteenth Brigade.

Now we're far from that valley of sorrow
But its memory we ne'er will forget
So before we conclude this reunion
Let us stand to our glorious dead."
