La Ametralladora (Spanish: Machine Gun) was a weekly satirical magazine which was published during the period 1937–1939.[1] It was distributed to the nationalists fighting in the civil war.[2]

History and profile

La Ametralladora was established in 1937.[3][4] The magazine was produced during the civil war and addressed the nationalist fighters.[5] They were supporters of Francisco Franco, future Fascist ruler of Spain.[4] Miguel Mihura edited the magazine[6] which came out weekly.[4] Tono, pseudonym of Antonio Lara de Gavilán, also contributed to the magazine.[4]

Its competitor was L'Esquella de la Torratxa which was the organ of the republicans.[5] La Ametralladora ceased publication in 1939 when the civil war ended and was succeeded by another satirical magazine La Codorniz.[3][4]
