http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Division
"The major military contribution of the Blue Division was entirely disproportionate to its modest strength and few material possibilities (arms and ammunition). The conviction and military fanaticism by which the Spanish volunteers assisted the Germans at the Eastern Front, was not left unawarded. Soldiers and officers of the Blue Division were awarded 2 Knight Crosses (one with Oak Leaves), 2 Golden Crosses, 138 Iron Crosses First Class, 2,359 Iron Crosses Second Class and 2,216 War Merit Crosses with Swords."
Blue Division was never defeated. Adolf Hitler was impressed by the strength and fanaticism of Spanish soldiers.
Nearly 50.000 Spanish volunteers went to the east front to die fighting against Commie-scum.
And Franco was a sepharditic chovinist, nationalcatolicist and a traitor centralist.
Anyway, the majority of Spanish republicans weren't commies, just Republicans and democrats.
