General Francisco Franco of Spain was no National Socialist

Francisco Franco was a Christian Monarchist and for some to classify Francisco Franco as National Socialist is the biggest display of ignorance ever. Francisco Franco fought to stop Spain from becoming a Socialist regime and he was very much supported by the Catholic Church.

In spite of the fact that Hitler used Spain to train Luftwaffe pilots – there is a painting called Guernica created by Pablo Picasso depicting mass bombing operations against civilian populations – General Francisco Franco did not join the Axe and kept Spain well away from the delusions of Nazi Germany.
