I know they were declared neutral. But thats about all Ive ever heard about them in ww2. From my understanding It was Germany who helped establish a Fascist (sp?) government there in the early 30's. They say many German Luftwaffe piolts got their first battle experience in Spain.

So why did't Spain join Germany and Italy? I know in the game GWX 2.0 you have supply ships in Spain. Why did Spain let the British have the port of Gibraltar? What if instead of invading Russia, If Germany had kept pushing West past France and into Spain to take Gilbraltar from Land and seal off the Mediterrian (sp?) And then new routes to North Africa could be made.

I don't know, thats just me. Should make an interesting discussion
