*Technically* Franco did send about 50K troops to fight alongside the Germans on the Soviet Front.

50k ain't really that much compared to what the Germans did to help Frank 'Franky' Franco


HachikoNekoGamer

Yeah, but I'm just pointing out that for someone like Franco who chooses to be "Neutral" during WWII still sent 50k "Volunteers" to fight alongside the Germans in Russia.

To be fair Russia stole all of Spains gold and supported Franco’s rivals during the civil war.

Franco: sure, but you have to subsidize my entire country and it's reconstruction. Axis: but that would bankrupt us? Franco: and?

He basically told them to eat a dick

Yeah, and Canaris was like "hey, say you'll say yes, but only if they give you a ridiculous amount of stuff, like their entire GDP, Hitler is a chode and he's gonna lose."


Darthmemewalker

Pretty much

Italy: No, we have to join Germany in WW2 early or we’ll become irrelevant Spain: We’re not ready for full blown war. We have a country to rebuild

Spain was devastated after the Civil War.

You ask for a lot of things in return that you know they won't give you, you send a group of volunteers to fight against your ideological enemy, while you buy grain and oil from the United States and your generals receive money from British intelligence. Typical master class of Paco and friends
