Spanish Involvement in World War II

Posted 19 Jul 2003

Most people don't realise that although officially neutral Spain had an active part in WW2 in the form of the Blue Division, otherwise known as the Spanish Volunteer Division, Division Azul, or by its official German title of the 250th Infantry Division of the Wehrmacht.

Help Wanted

Please get in contact if you have more information. I'm sure I haven't found all the units and I always appreciate more details about the ones already on the list.

Individual Spaniards were also involved on both sides during WWII, often in quite large numbers. In a few cases these individuals were collected into units.
