Spain is not a hostile country, not participating in the Second World War after a month or so, and this from a proper socialist prime minister and left leaning government with a proper eye on socialism.
A great believer in taking anything you like to wherever you want to.
Hang on, Franco was a friend of Hitlers and it was the Condor Legions being used in Spain that honed those airmen into a decent attacking force, tactics learnt were used throughout the war.
Have you heard of the Hendaye agreement,

Exactly. I don't think Spain is in a position to lecture anyone, especially given it's past colonialism

I was referring toe Keith.s point about WW2, Spain was willing to join the Nazi's when the time and conditons were right and we all know just because a political leader is removed/killed/locked up that people will still idolise them and hold those beliefs decades, maybe even centuries after they fell.

Most certainly Franco backed out when he found out the key reasoning was Hitler’s desire to take Gibraltar (I will add here that was also a threat to Spain) to control the straits and routes north and south. Not only would that be one of the most important access routes he also had access to North Africa.
Franco played him well.
