La resistencia armada al Franquismo en los años cuarenta en Extremadura y Castilla y Leónlos sumarios militares como fuente archivística e historiográfica

Resum

This thesis is dedicated to the armed resistance to the Franco regime in the 1940s in the North of Cáceres and South of Salamanca. It is aimed to demonstrate the responsibility of contributors and links of the guerrillas in their decline and disappearance. The hypothesis that we start is that popular support was, in most cases, a relevant commitment with the maquis. Mainly because of its meager politicization, their low level of cultural and, above all, for having a dreadful fear a crackdown by the regime. Through the research carried out, we intend to demonstrate the contribution of these circumstances in the early defeat of resistance in the area. To achieve the above objectives, we have addressed comprehensively the General Archive and Historical of the Ministry of Defence. Viewed hundreds of summaries. The total of these causes, half are directly related to the events developed, and only a couple of them are collected in the literature. Therefore, most of the summaries are unpublished on the work carried out on the guerrillas and constitutes the original contribution of the thesis.
