The Spanish Civil War had been a conflict between the nationalists and conservatives on one side, and what they saw as the opposing anarchic atheistic Marxism which was eroding the traditional Catholic values of Spain. The nationalists eventually won with the aid of Germany against the Soviet backed Marxists, and four years later, the Spaniards seized the opportunity to settle a score with those who had attempted to disintegrate their country. John Scurr's book provides an absorbing account of the organisation, campaigns and uniforms of Germany's Spanish volunteers who fought from 1941-45.

Germany's Spanish Volunteers,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Germany's Spanish Volunteers 1941-45 (Men-At-Arms Series, 103) (Paperback)
This is an excellent book with color pictures of the great (Spanish) brave men who volunteered to fight in the Eastern front with the Germans allies during WWII. I had a distant relative who was part of the Blue Division; these men had courage, and were true believers.
