During the Second World War, the
British colony of Gibraltar, former Sanctuary for pagan gods, the
mythical Column of Hercules, guardian of the Mediterranean for the
West, would become during some months in the conflicts epicentre.
For the British it continued to be
one of the essential bastions supporting the commercial routes which
brought over the Empires wisdom to the now accosted metropolis;
since the end of the Civil War it continued to be for the Spaniards
the yet unredeemed land through which the persecuted national unity;
but towards the beginning of the summer of 1940, as well to being
the key to the strait, Gibraltar had become for the Germans the
key to victory.
