Abstract

We are interested in the career of Lieutenant Colonel Joaquin Perez Salas, valued as a staunch Republican. It is considered that their last performance at the service of the casadista counter-revolution allows us to review the annotated concept, so widespread as accepted. We will try to uncover in that time and because started a one-way trip. The summary trial to which he was subjected –located in the Cartagena Naval Archives-, It allows to illuminate certain unpublished aspects of his performance, underlining its well-established reputation of Gunner, and outline some personality traits. The information gathered reveals the evolution of a soldier considered Republican without “add-ons”, his determined alignment next to the regime that has sworn allegiance, his opposition to class violence, his friction for this reason with the popular militia, his role in the coup of Casado, and the story of the last hours of the Republic as head of the naval base of Cartagena. A material that we have contrasted with other contributions - unpublished and printed - and the relevant bibliography.
