He was from Spain. He had been a general and well-respected within the military. He was aided by the Germans and Italians during the Spanish Civil War in 1936. The German Luftwaffe greatly benefiitted from this experience
since it gave its pilots combat experience and tested the new fighters and bombers. The Soviet Union sided with the Spanish Republic and provided military assistance. One interesting note about Franco was his relationship with Adolf Hitler. Hitler travelled to Southern France in 1941 to meet the Spanish dictator. He wanted Spain to enter the war against the Western Allies.
Spain refused and on the way back to Germany, Hitler confided to Goering and others, that Franco was the hardest person he had ever negotiated with and decided never to see him again, which he never did. Franco, did contribute a brigade to the eastern front in 1942. Most were killed within the first 6 months of combat against the Russians.
