  Spain also allowed German pilots to fly in combat in Spanish Civil War in violation of WWI treaty.

  Thanks! I didn’t know that. The best way to learn history is to ask people who were there.

  Might it be fair to say, also, that Franco realized that the US/Allies would likely win, wanted to get on their good side? If he had been convinced Hitler would win, he would likely have given you to the Nazis?
