Marina Ginestà was a member of the Juventudes Socialistas Unificadas, a Communist youth organisation governed by the Partido Comunista de España (Communist Party of Spain). When the Spanish Civil War broke out she found work as a translator and reporter
for Mikhail Koltsov, a correspondent of the Soviet newspaper Pravda.

Marina rapidly grew disillusioned with the Stalinist direction of the PCE but remained a militant in the face is Franco's Fascist Regime. Instead she found her self getting involved with different political factions such as the Partido Obrero de Unificación Marxista (POUM) (of whom George Orwell was a member) and later the Anarchist C.N.T.
Marina was injured before the end of the Spanish Civil war and was evacuated to Montpellier.

Shown here are various weapons from that conflict in a Spanish museum. (Photos courtesy Natalia Yurchenko.) If any of you find pics of Italian Vetterlis being used, please post them! Both sides had them, but they're seldom seen in period images.
