justify;\">Between 1938 and 1942, over 2,700 prisoners of war from the Republican forces were divided into five work battalions and forced to work as slaves of Franco\u2019s regime on the section of the Val de Zafan railway line being built between Alcanyis and Tortosa. Xerta was a key location as the site where many prisoners were kept and much of the work carried out.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The groups, known as \u2018worker battalions\u2019 (BBTT), were made up of ex-fighters from the People\u2019s Army of the Spanish Republic who had not undergone a judicial trial but were classified as either \u2018disaffected and hostile\u2019 or \u2018possibly disaffected\u2019 with the new dictatorial regime. From 1940 onwards these groups were reorganized and called \u2018disciplinary battalions of worker soldiers\u2019 (BDST). They consisted of prisoners of war, ex-fighters who had finished their military service under the Republican army and were classified as \u2018hostile\u2019, as well as deserters from Franco\u2019s army. In both cases, the prisoners were housed in concentration camps, classified, and distributed accordingly into different punishment units.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The first of these Francoist slaves were sent to work on the railway line under construction in the spring of 1938 (BBTT 66 and BBTT 68), following Franco\u2019s nationalist forces\u2019 conquest of the right bank of the River Ebro. The principal task of the forced labour was to speed up the process of laying the new tracks. By mid-June they had completed the work as far as the Pinell de Brai station (in the Terra Alta region). Later, as they moved on to work further downstream in the Baix Ebre region, the activity was halted due to artillery fire from the Republican forces on the left bank. During the Battle of the Ebro, having the line open as far as Bot facilitated the arrival of supplies and soldiers for Franco\u2019s forces.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Work started again towards the end of 1938 as more prisoners were brought to carry out forced labour. Their main tasks involved laying down the ballast for the line between Valljunquera and Pinell de Brai, which also meant quarries needed to be dug out at several nearby sites under tough working conditions, laying the rails between Pinell de Brai and Aldover, and rebuilding infrastructure such as viaducts damaged during the fighting.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-l800gkg5-2283e0466507307e314d92a0a0e1edf4\">\n.avia-image-container.av-l800gkg5-2283e0466507307e314d92a0a0e1edf4 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-l800gkg5-2283e0466507307e314d92a0a0e1edf4 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-l800gkg5-2283e0466507307e314d92a0a0e1edf4 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-10244 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-10244 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/turismebaixebre.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/FOTO-01-1030x723.jpg\" alt='' title='FOTO 01'  height=\"723\" width=\"1030\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/turismebaixebre.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/FOTO-01-1030x723.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/turismebaixebre.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/FOTO-01-300x211.jpg 300w, https:\/\/turismebaixebre.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/FOTO-01-768x539.jpg 768w, https:\/\/turismebaixebre.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/FOTO-01-1536x1079.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/turismebaixebre.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/FOTO-01-2048x1438.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/turismebaixebre.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/FOTO-01-1500x1053.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/turismebaixebre.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/FOTO-01-705x495.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1030px) 100vw, 1030px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-l800vjzw-2fc4823d62c8bc6772187cbccaa2e7ba '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p style=\"text-align: center;\">Railway line under construction at Xerta, covered with snow.

where most prisoners were located. Part of the BBTT 69, BBTT 163 and BDST 18 groups worked in and around Xerta up until 1942. The warehouses belonging to the old cooperative located beside the railway were used as quarters for the prisoners. Further north, temporary camps were also set up outside the village in the Les Valls and Xalamera areas.<\/p>\n<p>The presence of such a large contingent of prisoners in a small village like Xerta did not go unnoticed. For example, 1,307 prisoners carrying out forced labour were housed in the village in 1940. The work was hard and dangerous, requiring a lot of physical effort, and always outdoors whatever the weather. There were many accidents, and prisoners had little rest and a poor diet. There experienced frequent physical punishments, constant ideological drilling, and a permanent sensation of exploited slavery.<\/p>\n<p>The Francoist-run local council collected information regarding the prisoners for other public administrations and could request the prisoners\u2019 free labour when they deemed it necessary to help in emergencies. For instance, in October 1940, members of one of the work battalions were sent to repair damage caused in the village by floods. On another occasion, they carried out restoration work on the Sant Zeno chapel in Carrer Major street.<\/p>\n<p>Living in the area for so long led to friendly relationships between many of the prisoners and local villagers. A football team known as \u2018<em>Batall\u00f3n de Trabajadores de Cherta<\/em>\u2019 (Xerta workers\u2019 battalion) made up of locals and prisoners played friendly matches against other teams from the area and was the embryo for the village team to return after its absence during the Civil War. Various romantic relationships came about between prisoners and soldiers and women from the village.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-av_one_half-62182491de0c8640dccef865bfe8b366 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-20  el_after_av_one_half  el_before_av_one_half  first flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-l800wef1-1e223a97d58fa821a25415dfb36194c8\">\n.avia-image-container.av-l800wef1-1e223a97d58fa821a25415dfb36194c8 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-l800wef1-1e223a97d58fa821a25415dfb36194c8 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-l800wef1-1e223a97d58fa821a25415dfb36194c8 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-21  el_before_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-first '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-10256 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-10256 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/turismebaixebre.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/FOTO04-1030x776.jpg\" alt='' title='FOTO04'  height=\"776\" width=\"1030\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/turismebaixebre.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/FOTO04-1030x776.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/turismebaixebre.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/FOTO04-300x226.jpg 300w, https:\/\/turismebaixebre.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/FOTO04-768x579.jpg 768w, https:\/\/turismebaixebre.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/FOTO04-1536x1158.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/turismebaixebre.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/FOTO04-2048x1544.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/turismebaixebre.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/FOTO04-1500x1131.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/turismebaixebre.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/FOTO04-705x531.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1030px) 100vw, 1030px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-av_textblock-7a1af7d8f9790576b1769c0a9f0449ed '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p style=\"text-align: center;\">Xerta football team made up of Republican prisoners and locals, 1940. <em>Photo: Antoni Cid.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-av_one_half-776923162c92d83497802fbc6ee5cf68 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-23  el_after_av_one_half  el_before_av_section  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_image-8dd31c2f47387b5f992eea7e617cb074\">\n.avia-image-container.av-av_image-8dd31c2f47387b5f992eea7e617cb074 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-av_image-8dd31c2f47387b5f992eea7e617cb074 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-av_image-8dd31c2f47387b5f992eea7e617cb074 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-24  el_before_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-first '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-10252 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-10252 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/turismebaixebre.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/FOTO03.jpg\" alt='' title='FOTO03'  height=\"585\" width=\"871\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/turismebaixebre.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/FOTO03.jpg 871w, https:\/\/turismebaixebre.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/FOTO03-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/turismebaixebre.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/FOTO03-768x516.jpg 768w, https:\/\/turismebaixebre.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/FOTO03-705x474.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 871px) 100vw, 871px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-l800yc1w-f4df648b76ddbad20ab31c02cc7f0810 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p style=\"text-align: center;\">Group of prisoners from BDST 18 beside the railway in Xerta.

The prisoners had spent the night sleeping on the floor with blankets spread over piles of dried grass. They left the barn and lined up outside in three rows to be counted, using the same blankets to protect themselves from the early morning cold and wind. They all looked worn out before the workday had even begun. With eyes barely open and in a miserable mood, the routine of hard work and a resigned acceptance of the inevitable were reflected in the prisoners\u2019 expressions. Indifference and a sad fortitude towards their misfortune. After they had been counted, without a proper wash as the running water was far from the sleeping quarters, they splashed water on their faces from a foul-smelling puddle and, if they had tobacco, lit their first cigarette as they were marched off to the quarry. Here they worked until dusk, when they came back to the abandoned and isolated farm buildings where they slept once more\u2019.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Extract from <em>Batall\u00f3n de trabajadores <\/em>[Work Battalions] by Joan Llarch (1978), published by Plaza &amp; Jan\u00e9s.

A few months earlier, in April, the Public Works Minister, Alfonso Pe\u00f1a, had also paid a visit to inspect the new line. As the train passed through Xerta, the <em>La Vanguardia Espa\u00f1ola<\/em> newspaper reported that \u201cthe Worker Battalion 18 paid homage to the minister with crowds cheering at the station.\u201d This stretch of the line in the Ebro valley was open for 31 years before it eventually closed down in 1973. The first section of the railway had been constructed years before the Ebro section, with the foundation stone being laid in Puebla de Hijar in 1882. The final planned stretch from Tortosa to the coast in La R\u00e0pita was never fully completed.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div id='av-masonry-1' class='av-masonry av-l801r4yb-90419fa711489371ea2fb682eeeedc6d noHover av-fixed-size av-no-gap av-hover-overlay-active av-masonry-animation-active av-masonry-col-3 av-caption-always av-caption-style- av-masonry-gallery ' data-post_id=\"10240\"><div class=\"av-masonry-container isotope av-js-disabled\"><div class='av-masonry-entry isotope-item av-masonry-item-no-image '><\/div><a href=\"https:\/\/turismebaixebre.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/IMG_4971-1-773x1030.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/turismebaixebre.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/IMG_4971-1-773x1030.jpg 773w, https:\/\/turismebaixebre.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/IMG_4971-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/turismebaixebre.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/IMG_4971-1-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/turismebaixebre.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/IMG_4971-1-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/turismebaixebre.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/IMG_4971-1-1125x1500.jpg 1125w, https:\/\/turismebaixebre.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/IMG_4971-1-529x705.jpg 529w, https:\/\/turismebaixebre.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/IMG_4971-1.jpg 1500w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 773px) 100vw, 773px\"  aria-label=\"image IMG_4971\"  id='av-masonry-1-item-8207' data-av-masonry-item='8207' class='av-masonry-entry isotope-item post-8207 attachment type-attachment status-inherit hentry  av-masonry-item-with-image av-grid-img' title=\"IMG_4971\" alt=\"\"    itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" ><div class='av-inner-masonry-sizer'><\/div><figure class='av-inner-masonry main_color'><div class=\"av-masonry-outerimage-container\"><div class='av-masonry-image-container' style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/turismebaixebre.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/IMG_4971-1-529x705.jpg);\"  title=\"IMG_4971\" ><\/div><\/div><\/figure><\/a><!--end av-masonry entry--><a href=\"https:\/\/turismebaixebre.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/baixebre12-apeu.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/turismebaixebre.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/baixebre12-apeu.jpg 628w, https:\/\/turismebaixebre.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/baixebre12-apeu-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/turismebaixebre.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/baixebre12-apeu-80x80.jpg 80w, https:\/\/turismebaixebre.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/baixebre12-apeu-36x36.jpg 36w, https:\/\/turismebaixebre.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/baixebre12-apeu-180x180.jpg 180w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 628px) 100vw, 628px\"  aria-label=\"image baixebre12 apeu\"  id='av-masonry-1-item-9789' data-av-masonry-item='9789' class='av-masonry-entry isotope-item post-9789 attachment type-attachment status-inherit hentry  av-masonry-item-with-image av-grid-img' title=\"baixebre12 apeu\" alt=\"\"    itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" ><div class='av-inner-masonry-sizer'><\/div><figure class='av-inner-masonry main_color'><div class=\"av-masonry-outerimage-container\"><div class='av-masonry-image-container' style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/turismebaixebre.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/baixebre12-apeu.jpg);\"  title=\"baixebre12 apeu\" ><\/div><\/div><\/figure><\/a><!--end av-masonry entry--><a href=\"https:\/\/turismebaixebre.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/homepage-1030x692.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/turismebaixebre.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/homepage-1030x692.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/turismebaixebre.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/homepage-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/turismebaixebre.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/homepage-768x516.jpg 768w, https:\/\/turismebaixebre.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/homepage-1536x1031.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/turismebaixebre.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/homepage-1500x1007.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/turismebaixebre.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/homepage-705x473.jpg 705w, https:\/\/turismebaixebre.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/homepage.jpg 2000w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1030px) 100vw, 1030px\"  aria-label=\"image Riberola Bridge.
