In the middle of the Spanish Civil War, professional footballer Saturnino Navazo laid down his football boots and took up arms to defend democracy in the face of General Franco’s coup d’état.

After the military defeat of 1939, Navazo sought refuge in France, in the camps of Argeles and Rivesaltes. But very rapidly, he was deported to Mauthausen, a Nazi concentration camp in Austria, where two thirds of his compatriots were exterminated. To save his life, Navazo formed a football team. It was a case of football or death.
