Show detail Hide detail

Interview conducted for the television series THE DAYS BEFORE YESTERDAY : STRUGGLE FOR NATIONHOOD, of Hazen Sise, about his participation in the Spanish Civil War. Sise was recruited by Dr. Norman Bethune to work on a mobile blood transfusion unit. Sise designed a blood refrigeration truck at a gun factory in Barcelona. He took the truck on a trial run from Barcelona down the east coast of Spain. He describes this trip as the most horrifying and dramatic incident during his service in Spain because he had to make a hasty retreat from shelling by Franco's army. Sise explains that after hearing stories of torture by Moorish troops from North Africa, he decided to carry a lethal dose of morphine with him. He recalls that the Canadian troops fighting for the Republicans were mostly trade unionists, slightly older and more mature than the Americans. He comments that William Lyon Mackenzie King was mostly concerned about national unity at this time and most Canadians were indifferent about the war in Spain. Sise talks about the problem of getting troops back from Europe after the war. He speculates that if the Republicans had won the war, it would have meant that France would have refrained from joining the non-intervention pact. <20mn>
