The British historian Gerald Howson has furnished overwhelming evidence showing the extent to which Stalin shortchanged and double~crossed the Spanish Republic. As a result of Howson's extensive research, no longer can it be claimed that the Soviet Union was a bastion in the struggle against Franco. Rather, Stalin in effect swindled the Republic out of several hundred million dollars in arms deals. This was done through a secret cooking of the account books. The Soviets faked the prices of arms~guns, planes, and tanks~in order to obtain the gold reserves of Spain.".
