A Spanish volunteer of 250. Infanterie-Division, or Blue Division (División Azul), which fought on the Eastern Front. In the autumn of 1943 it was withdrawn by General Franco in response to mounting Allied pressure. Volunteers which disobeyed the order to return were grouped into the Blue Legion (Legión Española de Voluntarios), but this unit, too, was repatriated back to Spain in November 1944. Spaniards who still chose to fight on the side of Nazi Germany were absorbed into various German units.
