 Lot 1443 - Spain military issues - Cherrystone Auctions Worldwide Stamps and Covers1941-43 Blue Division (Division Azul), collection partly mounted on pages, 26 covers or cards to Spain (one from Spain to Feldpost 10177), sent from various units of the Spanish Volunteers in Russia, numerous regiments identified by the Fieldpost numbers, with German censor markings, identifications include framed "Sp," "F", some opened by Spanish censors on arrival, few endorsed "Correo Militar Alemani" and others, mixed condition with faults noted (It is a little known fact that although Spain did not take part in WWII, there were Spanish troops fighting alongside Nazi Germany on the Eastern Front in Russia. With the end of the Spanish Civil war Franco found himself in a tricky position – he was being pushed to enter the war on the side of the Nazis in return for the help he received in 1936 and subsequent years. The Division Azul (Blue Division) came into being in 1941. Over 18,000 men signed up, mostly regulars and Falangists, also some ex Republicans keen for political reinstatement after being on the losing side in the Spanish Civil war. The volunteers wore Wehrmacht uniforms with Spanish insignia. On leave they wore the blue (hence Blue Division) shirts of the Falange and the red berets of the Carlists. They saw heavy action in the advance on Moscow, fighting around Volkhov in 1942 and Leningrad in 1942/43. By 1943 Franco was under pressure (casualties had been very high), with mounting pressure from the allies, he ordered the troops home. Many refused to return and were absorbed into German regular units or into the SS. The Blue division had long lasting effects on Spanish politics. The February 23. 1981 attempted Coup d’etat was led by ex-Division Azul officers, notably Jaime Milans del Bosch. The tanks came out onto the streets of Valencia). - Cherrystone Auctions Worldwide Stamps and CoversSpain military issues |
