I'm surprised you didn't talk about la Nueve in more depth. That company was made up of Spanish communists, anarchists and republicans who were refugees in Algeria. They joined the 2nd Armoured Division under Leclerc and took part in Operation Torch and later in the Normandy campaign. They were also the first allied unit to enter Paris in 1944, and when the city was secured they entered the Spanish embassy and changed the Francoist flag with the tricolor Republican.

Yes this. La Nueve liberated the Paris Hotel de Ville and then steamed off to Hitler’s Eagles Nest hoping to settle some scores. An opportunity was also missed to mention that many Spanish Republicans were sent specifically to Mauthausen and Ravensbruck while Franco also had a concentration camp system were those sent back to Spain found themselves if not immediately executed. Spanish Republicans also formed the backbone of the “French”resistance in much of the south of France up until liberation.

They opened the parade after the liberation of Paris, with half-tracks named after Spanish civil war battles - working around The French not allowing them to display anarchist and communist names. A sad story, as they believed the allies would help liberate Spain from fascism after the war.

So Hitler was stating his goal of political and economic autarky ( national self reliance and self sufficiency ) as his main goal and that’s it.

@Rafael Resende- Rafael, My father never spoke of their political affiliation, but not all Republicans were Communists. They were probably Europeans with liberal leanings and probably anti-Catholic. I would think they definitely had more left of center leanings. The reason I do not think they were hard line Communists, first, because the Red Scare was in full bloom and they were all employees of the US military. This may have caused some discomfort to American service command. The Spanish Civil War has always fascinated me and I think it was more politically complicated. I remember a Spaniard extolling the virtues of Franco's dictatorship by telling me in his day you could leave your wallet on the street and no one would take it. I always thought that was BS, because the Guardia Civil would have stolen it and living though a brutal regime is not a good way to keep your wallet safe on the street.

@@tombarroso7654 I would say that portraying the republicans as communist, is an oversimplification greatly supported by the francoist regime for propaganda purposes. The Popular Front wasn't an actual party but a left wing coalition. As such, most of its members weren't communist. in fact, during the war, despite the effect the USSR aid had on pro communist sentiments, the government stood firmly in the hands of PSOE, a moderate left wing party which still exist and is the current ruling party in Spain. In the Basque Country (or at least the republican side of it), the "all republicans are communist" thing is even less grounded, as there, the ruling party was actually the right wing-catholic EAJ (which, like the PSOE, still exists and is currently the leading party of the basque autonomous government).

He fought with the Free French, including in Syria fighting other Foreign Legion troops, including fellow Spanish Republican's. In North Africa he fought against the Germans again. He later became a commando in the British army, there were many non Brits in the commandos. He was captured by the Germans seeing the rest of the war as a POW. He said he was lucky to be given refugee status in the UK after the war. It was after the war in a dance hall in London he first saw a pretty lady who later became his wife, she too was a refugee, a German.

We get loads of awesome questions each day, and if you want to post yours please do it at: community.timeghost.tv/c/Out-of-the-Foxholes-Qs. That way it’s easier for us to keep track of all the questions! Cheers, Rune RULES OF CONDUCT STAY CIVIL AND POLITE we will delete any comments with personal insults, or attacks. AVOID PARTISAN POLITICS AS FAR AS YOU CAN we reserve the right to cut off vitriolic debates. HATE SPEECH IN ANY DIRECTION will lead to a ban. RACISM, XENOPHOBIA, OR SLAMMING OF MINORITIES will lead to an immediate ban. PARTISAN REVISIONISM, ESPECIALLY HOLOCAUST AND HOLODOMOR DENIAL will lead to an immediate ban. THE PROMOTION OF EXTREME, VIOLENT IDEOLOGIES IS ABSOLUTELY FORBIDDEN This includes the justification, or promotion of ideologies, regimes, and systems that have historically or are inherently contrary to the principles of democracy and human rights. To be clear some of these ideologies are Naziism, Fascism, Colonialism, Imperialism, Leninism, Stalinism, Revolutionary Socialism, Integral Nationalism and any other ideology that promotes authoritarianism, and a disregard for inalienable individual rights as outlined in the UDHR. Regimes that fall under this rule are for example: Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, the British Empire, Colonial France, pre-emancipation USA, Imperial Japan, Communist China, the USSR and any similar systems and regimes. While an academic discussion of these ideologies and regimes is permitted, even desired, any value statements or comparative posts to extoll their positive sides will be deleted, and may lead to a ban. . Here’s why: It is objectively true that the authoritarian regimes we cover in our series, be they far-left or far-right, were willing to use systematic oppression, violence, and murder to create or maintain their preferred system of governance. From the perspective of human rights, democracy, and plain decency, this is clearly unacceptable. Now, that is, of course, a morally absolute statement based on 21st-century morals and ethics. Therefore, in our content, we refrain from any such judgement and just tell the story as it is. We’re concerned only with the past. We don’t take sides, and we don’t decide which side deserves more blame than the other. Our comment section, however, is not taking place in the past. Our comments are made in the present-day, and political comments such as the ones we don’t allow are promoting a present-day agenda by whitewashing, diminishing, or even justifying the crimes of a past regime. We will not allow for such rhetoric in the same way most democratic European countries (where we create this content) won’t allow for such rhetoric. As historians, our very work depends on this so that we can continue interrogating the past free from political influence.

Roughly 70% of spanish exile returned to Spain by 1940-41. At first they were not very well treated in concentration camps. Some went to work at the MAginot line and fewer did stay and joined the french resistance. Others moved to the USSR before barbarossa and fought for the soviet union, actually very few, and most in the air force. My family doctor was a republican air force pilot with no war crimes who returned to Spain and didn't suffer persecution, as far as I know, and was allowed to work as an MD. His name was Jose Luis Portillo if memory serves me well. He died some 5 years ago.

my goodness love love your show. your perspectives and angles constantly bend my brain. i am 60 years old have been absolutely obsessed with ww2 history for my entire life. it was my history professor terry polarise constant A+ that got me into portland state. its a serious question you propose about hitler on italy ever becoming on equal terms.as you know hitler was a choire boy and goring had a catholic wedding however in the end it would have been about blue eyes and blond hair. thanks for this mind bender.

Most likely Europe would have been divided into two circles of interest (or whatever) between Nazi-Germany and Fascist-Italy with line going somewhere in Alps. Mediterranean Europe (including Balkans) heading towards Africa would be Italian turf and Northern Europe heading towards USSR would be German turf. France would still belong to German turf despite having Mediterranean coast and that area would cause constant bickering between those two. There would also be differences with ideology as well and Mussolini strangely enough being more pragmatic in his politics regarding minorities. Hardline-nazis would of course be very angry about it.

I read that the Nazis even planned a section of the Ordnungspolizei (Nazi German police force) called the Kolonialpolizei (Colonial Police), based off of the Italian Africa Police, which was intended for use in a future Nazi German Colony, the force was formed from volunteers from other Ordnungspolizei units (mostly the Schutzepolizei and the Gendarmerie), and these were trained for colonial policing.The project was abandoned in 1943.

An unknown chapter in the plight of Spanish Republicans in France was played by the Mexican Consul to Vichy France, Gilberto Bosques Saldívar, who took the initiative to rescue tens of thousands of Jews and Spanish Republicans by providing them with Visas to Mexico and getting them out of Europe. Many ended up settling in Mexico.

In Spain, the blue division, which supported Hitler on the eastern front, is more remembered than the Spanish of the nine, who collaborate in the liberation of France against Nazism. It is sad that many in our country do not know even the most basic of their own history, there are people who do not even know that there was a republic in Spain or who Francisco Franco was.

Around the end of the war 1944-45, Hitler said that he wanted to replace the Italiens with Arabia. If Hitler knew this before the war,we could see a potential victory or defeat for the Germans.There is two ways the war will go if Saudi Arabia joins.First, it would not take a lot of negotiating to get them on their side, the Arabian idea was something that the British and French used to fuel the Arabs tog o against the Ottoman Empire in ww1, so it would make sense if the German promised and bigger version of the Arabian plan.Maybe giving colonies of Britain, France and occupied Iran.I say Occupied Iran because if the Germans had found an ally in Arabia the the plan to carve up Iran between the UK and USSR would be fast. Maybe Afghanistan would ally the Germans like what the Germans tried in ww1. Meaning that both Arabia and Afghanistan could help against the British Raj surrender.That would mean a couple of things then. FIrst. Arabian oil wil be given to Germany but the oil would need to be made in refineries back in Germany, so transport meaning that there would be a conquest of the Balkans and potentiale agreement between Turkey and Germany.This would mean operation Barbarossa will be even greater then before.If the Arabian countries are competent(like making revolutions inside the colonies like Japan did with India) then we could see a Push into the Caucasus if Turkey fives access. Either way the Arabian countries can pass through Occupied Iran into Baku oil and cripple the Soviets. or we could also habe a war where the Arabia is like Iraq and barely puts up a fight and give up.

Mussolini was like that uncle no one wants to talk about. The one who gets drunk on a Friday night and has to be bailed out on Saturday morning. You know the one, that person who always has a get rich quick scheme that blows up in their face and its you who has to foot the bill. I believe that had the war gone Hitler's way Mussolini would have been "retired" but at the time, even though he was inept, he was needed.

Makes me wonder if Mussolini ever had plans drawn up to create his own sub-alliance within the Axis such as helping bolster the existing fascist movements within Latin America as there was admiration for for him, along with Hirohito and Hitler. A Italian-Vichy French-Japanese-Latin American (unified as one state or as a mutual defense pact) plus it's holdings in it's own independent spheres as fascist states but to possibly deter a possible hungry Germany after the Axis victory could've been interesting.
