28 October 1937,

Francoist troops smoked 42 Basque warriors in El Dueso prison of the Cantabrian people of Santoña. A couple of months earlier, the leaders of the PNV signed an agreement with the Italian fascists pro Franco: The battalions of the Basque Army would surrender and, being converted into prisoners of war of the Italians, would spare their lives. The fascists did not keep the word, but when they knew the deal they paralyzed the operation and brought the warriors to El Dueso prison.
