Ángel Sanz Briz conflict Spanish Civil War
Early life
Sanz Briz was born on 28 September 1910 in Zaragoza. He earned a degree in law at the Central University of Madrid, and then in 1933 entered the diplomatic School in Madrid.  At the beginning of the Spanish Civil War he volunteered to join the Nationalist side in response to the atrocities of the socialist-communist terror plot from the government of Largo Caballero. Sanz Briz served as a truck driver in the Cuerpo de Ejército Marroquí, a unit of Francisco Franco's army created in 1937 and commanded by General Juan Yagüe. In that same armed conflict and on the same side he fought the one who, years later would be one of his main collaborators in Budapest, the Italian Giorgio Perlasca.
