I was misinformed by the author of the book I read who has, in all other aspects, produced what is acclaimed to be a definitive and authoritative account of the sieges. <br /><br />Given the statue has been around for a few years (Rudorff wrote the book in 1974), I wonder who he missed Palafox' statue - right near the old Portillo Gate too. <br /><br />Cheers,<br /> DocDoc Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12454394616689797734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2311583115457590788.post-32681525818308395732010-10-12T15:28:13.843+02:002010-10-12T15:28:13.843+02:00Doc

On the contrary, they are today an example of valour and patriotism for all Spanish. And there is a great Palafox Memorial in Zaragoza.

That town should have been taken several times over by now!<br /><br />Just finished reading an amazing book about the sieges of Saragossa (1808-09): 'War To The Death' by Raymond Rudorff. Its got Lejeune's 'Assault on San Gracia' on the cover (accurate painting - he was there!) Amazing story but all but forgotten in modern Spain - there's not even a statue or memorial to Palafox - which is a huge pity as there is a great film waiting to be made here! <br /><br />I bet the defenders of Connewitz wouldn't be able to match the Saragossans effort!<br /><br />Cheers,<br /> DocDoc Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12454394616689797734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2311583115457590788.post-42727759729244129112010-10-11T23:40:07.270+02:002010-10-11T23:40:07.270+02:00Ian
