André Landín correspondence

 Collection
Call Number: MS 2081

Scope and Contents

136 letters between Spanish Nationalist André Landín and his family members, 1936-1946. Letters document Landín's service in the Spanish Civil War, his time in the Spanish army, his service in Russia with the Azul Division, and his assignment to the Army Ministry after the war. The bulk of the correspondence is between Landín and his wife, Marichrista Landín. Marichrista's name appears to have been effaced from the letters, and the spelling of her name is therefore unclear.
