Connections: Connect this lesson to other disciplines by having students do an internet search for the ranks of the Spanish army in the 1930s in comparison to the ranks of the US army in the 1930s. The insignia and shoulder ornamentation are different so the students can discuss their titles or the style of insignia they wear. Skim the Wikipedia entry to find the insignia.

Suggestion from Erin Osterland:
I have used the “20 mundos” emagazine on “Los horarios en España,” which mentions Franco adjusting Spain’s time to coincide with Germany’s…nice way to show relevance of history to today.
Thanks Erin!
