was the big cause
for all of us
on the left then.
We felt it was the only hope
of defeating fascism,
that if the democracies
stood up to
what was going on there
and helped
the Spanish government
resist this invasion,
could be averted.
probably could've have been.
We knew that Franco
had this Nazi
As a matter of fact,
that his whole revolt
would've collapsed
without German planes
that were sent
from Africa into Spain.
So I was partisan
right away on that,
even though I was not
yet a member
of the Communist Party.
NARRATOR:
Only the Soviet Union
and the parties aligned
with the Communist
International
came to the aid
of the Spanish Republic.
In Hollywood,
the Republican cause
brought many into
the orbit of the party.
There were many committees
and fundraisers,
but just this one film.
The opposing sides
were never named
in Blockade,
Henry Fonda made his final,
desperate appeal.
Peace?
Where can you find it?
Our country
has been turned
into a battlefield.
There's no safety
for old people
and children.
Women can't keep
their families safe
in their houses.
They can't be safe
in their own fields.
Churches, schools,
hospitals are targets.
It's not war.
War is between soldiers.
It's murder,
murder of innocent people.
There's no sense to it!
The world can stop it.
Where's the conscience
of the world?
NARRATOR:
The conscience
of the world was stone,
the Spanish Republic
was defeated.
England and France
made a deal with Hitler,
and so too did Stalin.
What's the matter?
This radiogram came
a few minutes ago.
"Dear Mr. Ambassador,
our worst fears
are realized.
"This afternoon,
a non-aggression pact
and the Soviet Union."
Then it's happened.
Hitler's closed
his eastern door.
God help the rest of us.
It was a shock, and yet...
We saw, I saw
and almost
the inevitability of it
from the Russian
point of view that
even if they couldn't
get together,
with the West,
was have some
protection themselves.
Why did Stalin make
a deal with Hitler?
For self-protection.
He was left standing
alone against Hitler,
and he stalled because
his army wasn't ready.
What did Russia
ever do for us?
Russia has given us time.
It was an abrupt
switch of line.
It was stupid,
as far as the American Party
was concerned.
And there was
a lot of resistance to it,
even with people
who did not quit the party
at that point as many,
many people did,
