Every man named in this song was an actual member of the Connolly Column, the Irish contingent of the 15th. International Brigade, their names and more like them are recorded in the many books about this time, Viva la Quince Brigada.
It was also called the Abraham Lincoln Brigade. 3,000 brave your Americans came over to flight got the Republic. And many were persecuted when they went back home.
And about the Quinta Brigada of General O’DUFFY? No one remember them…they were 700 Irishmen, Catholics, braves…they formed the Fifth Brigade and they fought by the side of Franco.
Humanity and freedom wouldn't exist after the Spanish civil war on the communist side either,same outcome both ways and it's the spanning people who were the real victims.
The people who lost their lives for humanity and freedom were the priests and nuns that the subhuman Republicans murdered. Christy Moore is one sick bastard for celebrating these murderers.
@@oliver69cork46 (I'm a little late to the party I know...) It's a common misconception that everyone "on the left" has roughly the same idea on how the world should be. In reality nothing could be further from the truth. The people who did most of the fighting against franco were mainly anarchists or more general antiauthoritarian leftists and communists. The soviet stalinists that rolled in later may have shared some ideas with them on who should own the production equipment (the workers), but when it comes to how a society should work they were super oppressive and authoritarian and very much the oppostive of the people on those barricades. Actually, stalinists murdered many anarchist fighters and other leaders of 1936, who opposed their particualr idea of "communism". I'm not saying that anarchist ideas were super realistic or perfect, but they certanly didn't plan to put millions of people into gulags for the "crime" of not agreeing with everything the oh-so-brilliant "communist" party came up with. Still today, people - some on purpose, many because they simply don't know - just throw everything "leftist" into one bucket. Saying that authoritarian communism and anarchism are the same cause they're both anti-capitalist and therefore "leftist" is like arguing that an eagle and an airplane are the same cause they both have wings. P.S. I can really recommend to take a look at the "political compass". It divides political views not just on the economic position, but also on the authoritarian vs. libertarian axis. Still simplifies things of course, but in my opinion a much better explanation of the complex world of political views.
@@gehteuchnixan5180 yes the Spanish civil was not so simple as as communism v fascism or indeed left v right. Whatever the result it'd have been similar for the Spanish people as they would suffer under both,certainly fascism as it turned out to be but also communism without doubt due to its poor economic record. Franco didn't really advance Spain being far too Conservative, exploited the church plus the wealthy but Spain didn't advance like Italy under mussolini or salazar in Portugal. Salazar despite being the better of a bad bunch advanced but was crippled also with Conservative policies,his idiotic and immoral colony policies discredited him. You're quite right about the different degrees of being left or indeed right. It's relevant today with all these accused of various extremes which for the most part is easy lazy minded labels attached by opponents. A socialist is called a communist by the more aggressive right whilst if you hold even mild Conservative views you're extreme right. The degrees have shifted,being right wing is usually labelled extreme right whilst being more socialist there are accusations of communism as far as anarchist. Those who fought in Spain,some were clueless about the intentions. Many condemn those on francos side from Ireland for example with their position of retrospective, knew some who didn't know anything about Franco,volunteered to go and fight communism only to realise years later how awful it turned out!! There are always people used in wars or campaigns politically. Communism promises so much but recreates authoritarianism like fascism and destroys freedom,it never worked nor ever will. We judge by today's standards and history,its easy. When I see here some calling this a song for freedom and humanity,I find it ironic or am I deluded or totally wrong. Democracy is best with modest left and right plus centrism too for balance but above all give people their liberty to choose-always

NO PASARÁN al olvido ... Gracias IRLANDA.
No vinieron a luchar por la libertad sino a asesinar catòlicos bajo su amo Stalin,los que lucharon por salvar España y la libertad fueron los nacionales
The lyrics from great songs like this go 'full circle'. People in younger generations relate to and make a personal connection to songs against oppression and fascism.
oliver69cork Spanish republic was originally democratically elected , they were a socialist democracy, Franco felt shunned and revolted against the democratic government, only during the war did it become a communist thing
@@robertmccarthy9057 unfortunately for the Spanish people there was no choice between either political regime which both destroy lives. Don't really this romanticism of the Republic movement as somehow a fight for freedom which it was not,stalin backed them!! Guess like Che Guevara as a historical figure turned fashionable icon, the history is sanitised. Spanish people lost anyway and they fell far behind everyone else.
@@oliver69cork46 communism is an economical-political idea and has a general principle that those who make the surplus are entitled to decide what should happen to it. communism exists way before lenin stalin pol pot etc... fascism on the other hand... is based on social darwinism... the right for the stronger to decide over the weak. that is why fascism is forbidden. the core idea as well as the leaders who applied it are against freedom of any kind. neoliberalism (this late form of capitalism) also is very close to fascism. its a little bit cosmeticized with what you said... democracy and freedom lol.
@@cuoreazzuro not really the discussion had here with others as spoke of communism and fascism as relative to the Spanish civil war. Thats your take on the different regimes and whilst you are quite lenient on communism ,it was indeed and still is an enforced sty,e of governance which suppresses people. Fascism is the same only add in as you said its darwinist angle. Say or criticise all you want of western democracies but they remain the best of any political system, if not tell me whatd be better? Please don't say communism would be based on the 'it was never done properly 'idea!!!
A few days ago i started to discover of Christy Moore a legendary folk singer from Ireland and I like to see a full video footage of his concerts cause this is one guy I love to see perform. Next month I like to buy one of his LP's.
+Max Brand I've one DVD from a concert in Dublin (2002?) and it's worth all the money I paid for. I like to watch it very often. I guess this song is from this DVD.
when I was 17 I learned all about Battle for Madrid, if I was 17 then I would join international brigades.... many fighters from small village where my Dad was born died in Spain....
My grandad James McManus from enniskillen and his wife (a Swedish nurse) went to Spain, luckily they survived and spent 16 years in India returning home in 1946, he died in 1957 and his wife returned to Sweden, were she died in 1965, there is a film in this im sure

Love Christy. Love this song. Saw him in concert years ago. Would love to see him once more if he were well enough to come to Australia again. Wonderful, wonderful man.
Every time I hear this song gives me chills. These people who call themselves anti-fascists today would never have given up their homes and sale to another land to fight for people of another country another language other ideals simply for the fact that they believed that it was the right and just thing to do
Crien a sus hijos con memoria, para que el coraje de los miles de valientes españoles y brigadistas que lucharon por la libertad y contra el fascismo sea reconocido por siempre. Es lo menos que se merecen.
I met one of the Irish men from the international brigade in the eighty’s I done some work for him he showed me his pass from the Spanish government a true hero and a falls road man
Well...you're both wrong, quinto means 5th but decimoquinto means 15th, I think its quince which is fifteen, and Frank Ryan most definitely was involved in the 15th international brigade as publicity officer, but didn't lead it.
Niall McCabe Ryan lead the “Connolly Column” a company sized unit of Irishmen in the Abraham Lincoln Brigade The International Brigades were numbered X-XV and the Lincoln Brigade was officially the XV International Brigade, meaning it’s was both the 5th and the 15th International Brigade😅
Support for the Nationalists Edit Feeling in Ireland in the 1930s ran overwhelmingly against the Second Spanish Republic due to the opposition by the Catholic Church. Following the July coup by the generals in Spain, a wave of atrocities swept the country on both sides; in Republican Spain, the Red Terror was, in part, directed against the Church there. Ireland was awash with atrocity stories, leading to proposals to form a crusade to protect the Church and fight against the democratic Republic. In Ireland, the issue was presented in stark contrasts. Intermediate shades received little toleration. The Catholic church, arguably coming to the height of its conservatism, portrayed the war as a struggle between Christ and anti-Christ. Religion was under attack. Christian civilisation was mortally imperilled by the poison of communism. Innumerable sermons dinned home the dubious tenet that whatever opposed the onrush of communism was good. A joint pastoral of the Irish bishops firmly supported Franco.[2] Encouraged by the Church hierarchy, Eoin O'Duffy, leader of the fascist NCP, started to recruit a brigade of Irish volunteers to fight in Spain in defence of the church. By late 1936 some 7,000 men had volunteered, of whom about 700 were selected, and in November 1936 these sailed to Spain, where they became the XV Bandera (battalion) of the Spanish Foreign Legion, or "Irish Brigade". However, the Brigade became something of a political football: Franco was at first keen to have it, as a way of cementing control over the Requetes, the catholic monarchist militia of Navarre, but once this was achieved the brigade's presence was at odds with the Nationalists emphasis on "Spanishness". On the other hand, O'Duffy's purpose for the Brigade was not so much to support Spain as to enhance his own reputation in Ireland, and restore his political fortunes there. Militarily the Brigade achieved little; in its first action, near Ciempozuelos in February 1937, the Brigade was involved in a friendly fire incident with a Falangist unit while advancing to the front. Four brigaders and 13 Falangists were killed in the exchange of fire.[3] Shortly after, at Titulcia in March 1937 the Brigade refused to advance after taking casualties and was withdrawn.[4] Later, months of inactivity in a quiet sector sapped morale and saw an erosion of discipline; the unit was finally sent home in July 1937.[5]

Seguimos en la lucha. Gracias valientes.
I learnt of the 15th brigade from this song and my own research! We weren't taught the bravery of these men in English schools. Brave men all
Cowards that killed nuns and priests, that's what they were.
Lyrics
Ten years before I saw the light of morning
A comradeship of heroes was laid
From every corner of the world came sailing
The Fifth International Brigade
They came to stand beside the Spanish people
To try and stem the rising fascist tide
Franco's allies were the powerful and wealthy
Frank Ryan's men came from the other side
Even the olives were bleeding
As the battle for Madrid it thundered on
Truth and love against the force of evil
Brotherhood against the fascist clan
CHORUS
Viva la Quinta Brigada
"No Pasaran", the pledge that made them fight
"Adelante" is the cry around the hillside
Let us all remember them tonight
Bob Hilliard was a Church of Ireland pastor
Form Killarney across the Pyrenees he came
From Derry came a brave young Christian Brother
Side by side they fought and died in Spain
Tommy Woods age seventeen died in Cordoba
With Na Fianna he learned to hold his gun
From Dublin to the Villa del Rio
Where he fought and died beneath the blazing sun
CHORUS
Many Irishmen heard the call of Franco
Joined Hitler and Mussolini too
Propaganda from the pulpit and newspapers
Helped O'Duffy to enlist his crew
The word came from Maynooth, "support the Nazis"
The men of cloth failed again
When the Bishops blessed the Blueshirts in Dun Laoghaire
As they sailed beneath the swastika to Spain
CHORUS
This song is a tribute to Frank Ryan
Kit Conway and Dinny Coady too
Peter Daly, Charlie Regan and Hugh Bonar
Though many died I can but name a few
Danny Boyle, Blaser-Brown and Charlie Donnelly
Liam Tumilson and Jim Straney from the Falls
Jack Nalty, Tommy Patton and Frank Conroy
Jim Foley, Tony Fox and Dick O'Neill
I think he sang “Blessed the blueshirts down in Galway” not Dun Laoighaire
Love Christy. Love this song. Saw him in concert years ago. Would love to see him once more if he were well enough to come to Australia again. Wonderful, wonderful man.

Feeling in Ireland in the 1930s ran overwhelmingly against the Second Spanish Republic due to the opposition by the Catholic Church.
Following the July coup by the generals in Spain, a wave of atrocities swept the country on both sides; in Republican Spain, the Red Terror was, in part, directed against the Church there. Ireland was awash with atrocity stories, leading to proposals to form a crusade to protect the Church and fight against the democratic Republic.
In Ireland, the issue was presented in stark contrasts. Intermediate shades received little toleration. The Catholic church, arguably coming to the height of its conservatism, portrayed the war as a struggle between Christ and anti-Christ. Religion was under attack. Christian civilisation was mortally imperilled by the poison of communism. Innumerable sermons dinned home the dubious tenet that whatever opposed the onrush of communism was good. A joint pastoral of the Irish bishops firmly supported Franco.[2]
Encouraged by the Church hierarchy, Eoin O'Duffy, leader of the fascist NCP, started to recruit a brigade of Irish volunteers to fight in Spain in defence of the church. By late 1936 some 7,000 men had volunteered, of whom about 700 were selected, and in November 1936 these sailed to Spain, where they became the XV Bandera (battalion) of the Spanish Foreign Legion, or "Irish Brigade".

On the other hand, O'Duffy's purpose for the Brigade was not so much to support Spain as to enhance his own reputation in Ireland, and restore his political fortunes there.
Militarily the Brigade achieved little; in its first action, near Ciempozuelos in February 1937, the Brigade was involved in a friendly fire incident with a Falangist unit while advancing to the front. Four brigaders and 13 Falangists were killed in the exchange of fire.[3] Shortly after, at Titulcia in March 1937 the Brigade refused to advance after taking casualties and was withdrawn.[4] Later, months of inactivity in a quiet sector sapped morale and saw an erosion of discipline; the unit was finally sent home in July 1937.[5]
