There was in England a discussion about interning them (returnees). They were looked on as dangerous.
NOW - if you were unlucky and you did NOT heed La pasionara's call - "You have fought like heroes now go home and do something else" and board ship to dear old Blighty
then you might have been unlucky and gone north and (1936) been interned in S France . For four years
THEN
France lost in 1940 and they er stayed there THEN
The Vichy govt fell and the internees were found my the Nazi occupiers and - - - taken to Mauthausen
THEN they stayed there until 1945 until they were liberated by that Americans
and THAT boys and girls is why
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mauthausen_concentration_camp
if you scroll all the way down ( long long way - wheee!)
"liberation and post war heritage"
you will see a banner beginning "los espagnoles anti-fascistas..."
done in the final years of the war by the remains of the International Brigade and sundry spanish revolutionaries, interned nine y before - unlucky men!

now who was it who said - you can join up and nothing happens later? - - I think it " can do" something and not very pleasant, khandro

(*) Khandy I dont want you complaining - PP always says I write crap

One tommy has flown to Poland and then onto Ukraine ( 1700 R4 ) - and is recorded as AWOL - desertion

Cross posted, mozz.

Just when you think you can’t be more shocked ….

[naomi24]

Women and children trapped in the rubble, some of the women in Labour.

I know Naomi, it's heartbreaking.

By whom? there's never an end to 'discussion' by some twator other in England. No returnees bore any consequences whatsoever after the Spanish Civil War, including George Orwell. Neither did Lord Byron returning from fighting for Greek liberation from Ottoman occupation.

[Khandro]

Returning to the OP: What Ukraine needs is 'iron Dome', not more fighting in the air, hence (I believe) the recent discussions with Israel.
