Summary edit

Description
English: This is a mandatory correction of the chart made by Halibutt. It is outrageous that the Spanish victims of Mauthausen-Gusen are depicted using a fascist flag (Dictatorship's flag). I have deleted the shield in order to correct this situation.

The flag of Spain is not a "fascist flag". The "Republican Flag" was not the flag of any country from 1939 to 1945. It is only proper to use the red-gold-red flag of Spain as its representation.

Please take into account that I have renounced to use the most proper flag, the Republican Flag. Although the majority of the victims were republicans, I assume that most of the international wikipedia users cannot recognize immediately Spanish Republican flag

They fought under the Republican flag and the Republican flag is still used in commemorations in all concentration camps, including of course Mauthausen. That is the adequate flag, whether users recognise it or not.

It is not, based on the following:

1. The red/yellow/red Spanish flag is far from exclusive of the francoist regime, it was established a century and a half ago. 2. At the time of the Holocaust, as has been noted, it wasn't Spain's nor any other country's flag. 3. Applying the same criterium, the nazi flag shouldn't represent German nor Austrian prisoners.
