I don't think that nun on the left is a real one. Look at her languid, sexy pose. She's a Republican spy. And that one at the back, look how she's eavesdropping on the conversation of the other two (and possibly of the soldiers inside the lorry).

Dammit! They're both spies! In fact, put all four of them up against the wall and shoot 'em, just to be sure!


Very nice truck. Nice nuns, too.

EXACTLY what I thought: Either she´s a whatever in a habit, or the stories about the depravity and corruption of the Spanish clergy in the early 20th century ARE indeed true*!

On a side note: those busses and lorries with slapped on armour plating where generelly not very long lived as APCs. As you can imagine the suspension and gear box gave in quite soon.

On a side-side note: Anthony Beevors The Spanish Civil War is an excellent read.
