Content note: Carlist front page from the Spanish Civil War calling the opposing command 'Marxist forces' and mocking a named colonel; shown as printed. This object is shown as it was published. Why
El Pensamiento Navarro, front page (Pamplona, 18 September 1936): "Por Dios y por España"
Front page under the banner "POR DIOS Y POR ESPAÑA" (For God and for Spain). The headline reports a lieutenant, son of General Miaja, taken prisoner near Talavera; the deck calls Colonel Asensio Torrado "chief of the Marxist forces" who "fled like a 'brave man'" and reports Sigüenza held. Below: an editorial, Carlist war-committee notices, photos of three named volunteers described as killed. The tell: a religious-patriotic slogan frames the war report, and a political label with scare quotes replaces a plain description.
