Shithead who produced The Wire is gonna make a series about the Stalinist International Brigades who fought in Spain, slaughtered the Anarchists and Trots, and then got rocked by God's side, the Nationalists. Prepare for some serious propaganda. (McCain praised them btw).
Here we catch the author in a lie: Jews were not persecuted in Fascist Italy until a few years later. In 1936 many were firmly ensconced in the Fascist Party, such as the Venetian Sarfatti Family, one of whom was Mussolini's Mistress at the time (and earlier financier).
