Antonio Sagardía Ramos

[3] After the War in the North ended, the "Sagardía Column" was reorganized as the 62nd Division of the Navarre Army Corps [es],[1] at the head of which he took part in the Aragon Offensive.

[4] But in the face of casualties suffered by his column after a Republican attack, he said: I will shoot ten Catalans for every dead man in my guard.

"[5]In May 1938, several extrajudicial killings took place that ravaged the Catalan comarca of Pallars Sobirà and resulted in 67 people shot,[4] good part of them women, elderly and children.

A few weeks later he participated in the so-called "final offensive" of the war, and on 30 March he entered Alcalá de Henares at the head of his unit.

[7] After the Civil War ended, he was appointed Inspector General of the new Policía Armada,[8] and as such he was part of the delegation that visited Nazi Germany in September 1940.
