    Hi Christian!
    Nice photo, i am a new Blue Division collector & always looking to learn.
    What makes you believe this is a Blue Division soldier? As far as i can see he is not wearing any German medals & does not have German tunic on and that cap is not German.
    I do not know German insignia very well so not sure of what he is wearing on his sleeve.
    Could it not be a Spanish civil war photo?
    Please everyone prove me wrong on this, the best way to learn
    Ant.

      Nice picture indeed but I had the same impression as Ant. Why a member of the Div. Azul?

        The insignia on his sleeve depicts the Spanish Falange, the one below the three stripes. Im thinking that this guy is a member of the Spanish equivalent of the Black shirts.

            Thanks for all the comments. I don´t know for sure if he was a member of the Blue Division. The guy i got the photo from told me he was a member of the Blue Division later than the photo was taken. So hhmm maybe - maybe not

              ok about medals, the one in the left (round body ) is Medalla de sufrimeinto por la patria) that is an equivalent of a wound medal, the other is also a wound medal called mdealla de mutilasdo por la patria (which would transalte as mutilated for the country medal)

              the ribbons varied as to why the wound was obtained on both cases

              as for the medal bar, he has a cruz roja al merito militar (red with white in the midel9 and the medalla individula which is one of the highes military awards in sapin. hope it helps!!

              the stipes on the arm are one for evrey wound received, that is this man has been wounded three times

                Thanks a lot - is it possible to identify him too
                Can you tell something more about his rank and maybe the unit?

                  Hello Jaime,

                  I am agree with you but not of one medal of the medals bar. It is not a Medalla Militar Individual is a Cruz de Guerra, I am sure, I think that it is more correct than you think.

                  In another hand, I am sure that he is a Falangista with a Sargento Rank in the Spanish Civil War.

                  Regardas from Spain

                      Hi Christian,

                      Mr. Alonso was a Blue Division soldier later in the war.

                      Here you can see him with Blue Division in Germany while training for the Eastern Campaign.

                        Great information. By the way, I think that he also has the "Cruz Laureada Colectiva de San Fernando" on his left sleeve. This is one of the most important Spanish awards...

                          That photo is superb Just look at the mix of tunics & headgear, really fascinating as all the official photo's you see never show the soldiers in such different uniforms, only in their Spanish uniforms leaving Spain, or German uniforms leaving Germany.
                          So he was quite a well known soldier? Do you know any more about him?
