It was incomprehensible and it was untrue. Barely a single squad from the vanguard had reached Can Tunis or the first houses in L’Hospitalet. Today, the news is being given out as the truth. At quarter to one, the radio in Burgos was saying that the Nationalists were on Tibidabo. Later, they informed us that the troops were in Plaça Catalunya at two. You could see this coming after the rapid advance of the last few days, but nobody expected it would be so fast. An entente?
Era incomprensible y no era cierto. Apenas algún pelotón de vanguardia había llegado a Can Tunis o a las primeras casas de L’Hospitalet. Hoy dan la noticia como segura. A la una menos cuarto la radio de Burgos dice que ha dicho que los nacionales estaban en el Tibidabo. Más tarde nos avisan que a las dos las tropas están en la plaza Catalunya. Se veía venir después del avance vertiginoso de los últimos días, pero no parecía que iba a ser tan rápido.
