Episode 1: Belchite. Belchite and the surrounding towns were one of the most emblematic scenes of the civil war. On August 24, 1937, Franco had most of his troops occupied on the northern front. Using the element of surprise, the Republican army, under the command of General Pozas, launched a major offensive to take Belchite, which withstood a 12-day siege. From that moment on. Belchite would be a challenge for Franco. Once the Nationalists had taken Teruel, they broke the Aragon front and on March 10, 1938, General Yagüe's troops definitively recovered Belchite. Episode 2: Bielsa's bag. In the town of Bielsa, as a complement to the Ethnological Museum, a room shows through photographs and documents the cruelest part of its history: The Bielsa stock market. Through the testimonies of many of the survivors of that feat of the civil war, the defensive action of the 43rd Division of the Spanish Republican Army is reconstructed, commanded by Antonio Beltrán el Esquinazau, which resisted for 166 days in the Aragonese Pyrenees, isolated of the other units of the Eastern Army.
