Basque Resistance Broken
Franco Creates Inferno^ The Santo Domingo correspondent of the “Daily Telegraph” says that, amid an inferno of hand-to-hand fighting with grenades arid dynamite sticks whistling through the air, and war planes swooping and machine-gunning, General Franco’s troops broke the vast Basque resistance in the Santo Domingo hills, half a mile north-east of Bilbao. The defenders are reported to have lost 5000 dead and wounded prior to the final attacks.
