The Battle of Santander was a decisive battle fought during the Nationalist 'War in the North' campaign during the summer of 1937. The Battle of Santander comes just weeks after another devastating defeat for the Republic's 'Army of the North' at the Battle of Bilbao which had resulted in Nationalist forces gaining total control over the Bay of Biscay. Despite this, Republican forces continued to resist until the fall of Santander on the 26th of August, which resulted in a near complete collapse of the Republican units, already badly attrited and suffering from low morale, defending the province. Upwards of 60,000 Republican soldiers were captured by Nationalist forces.
The 'Laredo' Fusilier Battalion has been assigned three key objectives as part of this offensive. First, they will storm the town of Torrelavega on the Republican frontline, they will need to secure the towns outskirts, the church grounds and the town centre.
Once Torrelavega has fallen to Nationalist forces, the 'Laredo' Fusilier Battalion will advance on and force a breakthrough of the blocking positions set up by Republican forces, these being, Positions Alicante, Bilbao and Cadiz.
Finally, with the path to Santander clear of Republican forces, the 'Laredo' Fusilier Battalion alongside the 'Monte Jata' Infantry Battalion will storm the town. Forces of the Laredo Battalion are assigned the task of capturing the well fortified Republican headquarters, being hosted by a former Spanish Army base.
09:00 Hours, Santander Province, Spain, 24th August, 1937 - With the Republican stronghold of Santander in sight, the Flechas Negras, Black Arrows, Division under the command of Colonnello Piazzoni is ordered to advance on and capture the town.
