December 27th, 1939.

La Coruña had not taken too much fighting before it was all over. There were still fires, and destroyed houses, but now that there were no more Carlist soldiers, rebuilding could soon begin.

Soldiers of the Worker's Front scrambled up the decorative fixtures of the Town Hall of La Coruna, carrying banners and flags, as Juan Pujol Garcia attempted to corral the ones climbing the statue of Maria Pita with a Worker's Front flag, for a good photograph shot. He reflected, as he lined up the camera, that Maria Pita had saved La Coruna from the English, but not from it's own countrymen. There was an ironic statement or something there, he was sure.

His thoughts drifted to other things, like yelling at the guy with the flag to not block his shot of the Town Hall, so it never occurred to him that when Maria once again cried Quen teña honra, que me siga!, the honorless Monarchists and Carlists instead scrambled onto their boats and fled, and instead those who followed her cry were the Workers Front and the Republicans.
