Description

The offer of an armored tank by Constructora Field to the Government of the Generalitat in 1936 is a document that illustrates the Catalan industrial mobilization in the face of the war emergency. This initiative shows how the productive fabric was adapted to support the defense of the Republic, putting technology and manufacturing capacity at the service of freedom. The document reflects the will to resist and the collaboration between institutions and companies at a critical moment. It is also an example of how Catalan industry was inserted into a European dynamic of total war, where the production of armaments became key to the survival of democratic regimes.
