2. I guess no country in World War II was neutral, and I think during that time, everyone had a pretty good grasp that they couldn’t stay neutral. Sweden wasn’t neutral, it was non belligerent but it was pro allies, same for Switzerland. Spain wasn’t neutral, it was non belligerent but it was pro axis. It’s not neutral when you favor any of the sides in a conflict.

3. Arriba España !!!

4. The vikings tried to invade No.Spain and their buts kicked.King Otto came back(king of the Vikings)and got his butt kicked,nuff said.Of course Spain(and other European knights ) had been fighting the Muslims for a long time so the vikings were out matched by superior fighting men than they were used to.

5. Many Spaniards are Sephardic Jews.
   Why do you think they had the largest empire ?
   The Americas is an extension of Jewish people's.
   Why do you think Europe is so advanced ?
   Why do you think the BIG APPLE and the WINDY CITY have the largest buildings ?
   The Jews invented money.The Italians invented prostitution.The Mexicans invented the cigerette.
   LOL

6. The individual motivation of those who joined the Waffen SS has always been interesting too me . It is of interest Expecially in these times. At least the Spanish showed little interest in the extreme measures of there allies. I thank you for your research !

7. Y tú solo hablas de la división azul, pero la aviación española le dio mucha caña y eran temido por los pilotos rusos, porque decían que no sabían por dónde les iban a aparecer y eso sí les daba miedo y siempre aniquila ban al jefe de escuadrilla para que los demás rompieran la formación y atacarles mejor y ponerlos en retirada, gloria a los héroes españoles que lucharon en los campos de Europa antes y después de nuestra época, "no hay un lugar en el mundo en que no haya una tumba española"

8. 14:00 lmao, spaniards never change.

9. Franco was smarter than Hitler. He never had faith Germany would win the war. So he stayed out of it.

10. Well, if clearly displaying the Roman Eagle isnt enough, then look at the Religious symbols or follow the Bloodlines
    We live in the Holy Roman Empire and Religion is satanic.
    Did you know that having others govern over you and tell you lies of religion actually makes you their slave? It does not make anyone free. Never has. You can't be free and "also" be governed
    The Spanish and the Portuguese created "South" America in the name of the Holy Roman Empire. Just more Nazism

11. They fought as ferouciously as their Soviet counterparts, never could be branded as cowards by either the Germans or the Soviets!

12. Gran trabajo, enhorabuena ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ??

13. Can you make a video about the green legion the Portuguese volunteers that fight with Germany against the Soviet Union

14. How brave these Spaniards were! I’m proud of them as a fellow anti-communist!!

15. Francisco Franco was not a fascist though, he was more of a general not really a politician.

16. Before the Falklands War UK-generals said something like: "if the Argentines are descended from the Spaniards the war will be hard and bloody, if they are descended from the Italians it will be a matter of a few days."

17. fascism was a Southern European view of the world from Italy to Spain and Latin America. And now fascism is the only European view of the world. But seen through the eyes the dominant culture distorted

18. We all know you aren't spaniard. So shut Up and stop talking about my country.

19. The blue division had Portuguese volunteers as well

20. Spanish Civil War and its aftermath has always fascinated me. Not sure why, probably from bring heavily influenced by Hemingway.

21. A famous divisionario was the filmaker Luis García-Berlanga

22. Well the spanish were not that fascist as italy and germany defintely they are falangist

23. You made a mistake. Franco didn't reject taking part in WWII, Hitler didn't allow it. That was because Franco demanded a lot of things and he didn't have to much to offer. There's historical quotes about Hitler insulting Franco for his impudence.

    I would also like to let people know that spanish republicans who were exilied in France fought with the allies and were the first ones to enter in Paris with "La Nueve" division. Not everyone was a fascist in Spain

24. Spain in the centre is pretty cold in the winter and the Battle of the Ebro was in the middle of the winter with snow etc

25. Were north morrocan "Rifeños" mayority of the unit, blue division

26. In fact, have been Spanish soldiers fighting on both sides (URSS side too). And don't fight directly in the second war was because Spain was destroyed by the civil war, a war where took part Germany and URSS probed new war toys.

27. Stupids volunteers

28. My friend, the picture displayed with Franco and another military man , was NOT Ramón Serrano Súñer, but Franco, s brother. This brother was actually a pilot.
    Thank you for this channel!

29. "Idee"

30. Nice bald

31. The Guy with the pipe in the first pic looks so based lmao

32. Nice video. Very insightful. Maybe you’ve talked about it before but if not you should research “La Nueve” as a counterpart of la División Azul. The 9th Company, embodied by Republican veterans, fought alongside the Allies and were key in the liberation of Paris. Many haven’t even heard of them and back then they were mistaken for US soldiers because of their uniforms and equipments. In essence, both sides did their part in WWII.

33. La mejor división de la segunda guerra mundial.
    Bravo, por la división azul!!!

34. Viva la división azul!!!!!! Viva José Antonio

35. The USSR had also helped the Republican communists (which eventually took over the other republican factions) in the civil war, so it was perfect for the ministry of propaganda to use it as an excuse to call the population on arms
    4:21 here says 'Russia is to blame for our civil war and for the death of José Antonio (founder of the Falange and shot by the republicans)'

36. "We all know Spain"
    Shows Spain with the fascist flag*
    Spaniards: O_O

37. Great channel, very well explained, congrats

38. That's not the Spanish flag since 1980!!!

39. Sending Spaniards to the Leningrad front to suffer the Russian winter was a very bad idea. They should have sent them to the south, the same as Italians or Romanians. They were not very motorized either and had the same low preparation in "motorized warfare". Anyway, in the Spanish Civil War, both circumstances occurred, motorized warfare and "polar" conditions. In the battles of Teruel and Alfambra, for example.
    The German disrespect towards the Spanish soldier remains in its forms, in appearance, it does not reach its essence, which is that of being historically one of the best infantry ever.
    Another episode of the Second World War that demonstrates this is Bir Hakeim. Where Spanish soldiers, veterans of the civil war enlisted in the Free French Army, stopped an Rommel´s offensive.

40. What about the pink division?

41. Great job man!!greetings from spain!!

42. Spanische Staffel….escuadrilla azul

43. The captain by the side of Franco is not his brother in law, Serrano Suñer, but his brother, Ramón Franco.

44. Spain was never fascist, the fascist party didn't even made it to the parliament while the republic shameful period, the coup at spain was lead by a diverse coalition of forces…

    "Fascist Spain" is just Soviet propaganda created to destroy the country which slayed communism at his land and later send soldiers to fight solely the soviets, hence helping the nazis.

45. stephan is clearly superior
