Oral sources are valuable resources for learning about experiences around masculinity. The research that we present arises from a Teaching Innovation Project carried out at the University of Valladolid (Spain) that tries to bring the students of the Degree in Education to the historical memory of the past school through oral sources. The microproject "Living childhood in times of war" helps us to collect 24 testimonies of men born in the province of Segovia (Spain), during the 1920s and 1930s, in popular class families. The analysis of the narratives is key to discovering how the education of masculinity was conceived in popular classes during the period of the Spanish Civil War. The testimonies reveal a family education that presents the minors two models of men: one related to modernity values and the other with conservatism, reflection of the two Spanish wars. Throughout the conflict, the education children receive in the classroom and through non-formal experiences in the social sphere, will teach them that the only model of masculinity they should follow is the one proposed by the Phalanx, characterized by the exaltation of virile, homophobic, patriotic, disciplined and combative masculinity. This masculine archetype is opposed to sentimentalism and attempts to awaken in minors a rejection of any progressive stance against patriarchy and the sacred masculine duty.
