A LETTER FROM MEMBERS OF THE "DIMITROV" BATALLION IN
THE SPANISH CIVIL WAR, ADDRESSED TO GEORGI DIMITROV
April 27, 1937.
On the day when all peoples celebrate labour, on May the First, we the members: soldiers, commanders and political commissars, of the international battalion which bears your name, address to you our militant anti-fascist greetings.
The sons of more than ten nations, among them Spaniards, Poles, Croats, Serbs, Slovenes, Czechoslovaks, Bulgarians, Poles, Macedonians (167) and others fight in the ranks of our Battalion and follow your example in the struggle against Spanish and international fascism.
Although we speak different languages, since we have left the countries which separated us before we came to Spain, we now understand each other and live fraternally. We have been united by a single idea and goal: to destroy fascism, to win freedom and
independence for Spain ...
Front on Harama, 27 April 1937 G. Dimitrovac, (168) 1 (1. V 1937), str. 3.
