Spanish Participation in Second World War through the microphones of RNE (1941-1954)
Abstract
Even though Spain did not enter Second World War, it’s official politic changed from neutrality to non-belligerant, favouring the Axis, and once more to neutrality, when Germany began to lose the war and it was convenient to take distances. This manifested in the coverage that media, and especially Radio Nacional de España -which was the only radio allowed to give news- of the war and of the most politically commited initiative of the Regime: sending the Blue Division. War coverage -and of the Blue Division- of RNE evolved, from the glorification of the divisionaries to the silencing.
