Abstract
This chapter analyses the Francoist myth of the peasant-soldier, which was employed to manipulate the Francoist veterans during the long postwar period. First, the chapter explores the transnational origins of this myth, particularly observing the evolution of the myth in Fascist Italy. Then, the use of the myth during the Spanish Civil War and the postwar period is pointed out. Finally, the myth is put into contrast with the harsh reality of the veterans' role and experiences in the Spanish rural spaces during the 1940s.
