The General Muñoz Grandes was hurt several times during the Africa wars. In the year 1924 being comandant of spanish army was hurt in the arm....

"On 12-11-1924 comandant Agustín Muñoz Grandes went with his Harka in the direction of Zoco Sebk and after maintaining very hard fights with the enemy he was seriously hurt of a shot in the left forearm".

He sent this telegram to his family on 13 november 1924 from the hospital in Ceuta.
He says: "Wounded left arm. I am ok".

Award document from Blue Divisio Brotherhood to a Nurse volunteer in Russia,

Interesting that this certificate is dated 1987, after the fall of Franco and Spain's entry into the EU. I say so due to the presence of the swastika, I am guessing this is a private issue or a Veteran's Association award?

Hello, it's a Veteran's Association award. In any casy the swastika never was forbidden in Spain.

This spanish magazine is dated on 26-jan-1943. The text says: "The Blue Division repulses the Russian attacks near Saint Petersburg". This magazine publishes nowadays in Spain.

How strange that it says San petesburg instead of Leningrad

[Mike TM]

The name of the city was Leningrado between 1924-1991, but in Spain, after Civil War, was preferred the zarist name "San Petersburgo", instead Leningrado by the comunist meaning.
