Talk:Gonzalo de Aguilera Munro

Having never stood trial
"Having never stood trial" is unclear. It implies that he was likely to have stood trial had he lived longer. Would this have been for atrocities during the Civil War or for killing his sons? A war crimes trial of a Francoist officer in 1960s Spain is very unlikely, so this must mean trial for killing his sons. I don't have access to the cited source, but if he never stood trial then by definition he never stood trial for killing his sons. I will change the text to "having never stood trial for killing his sons". Verbcatcher (talk) 16:17, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

Source of quotation
I would like to include the following chilling quote from De Aguilera Munro, which is given without citing a source in the Spanish Wikipedia article:

"El gran error que han cometido los franquistas al empezar la Guerra Civil Española ha sido no fusilar de entrada a todos los limpiabotas. Un individuo que se arrodilla en el café o en plena calle a limpiarte los zapatos está predestinado a ser comunista. Entonces ¿por qué no matarlo de una vez y librarse de esa amenaza? (The Francoists' big mistake at the beginning of the Spanish Civil War was not to shoot all the shoe-shiners at the start. An individual who kneels in the cafe or in the street to clean shoes is predestined to be a communist. Why not kill him at once and get rid of that threat?)"

This is my Google-assisted translation.

I don't want to add this without citing a source. Can we find one? Verbcatcher (talk) 19:08, 9 January 2017 (UTC)
