Hi Jaime,
stunning uniform
thanks for sharing, for the Axis we
have the spanish Blue division (Azul) the spanish volunteer
division was designated the 250th (“Blue”) Infantry Division of the Wehrmacht.
It was called the "Blue Division" because the original uniform included
the badge dark blue shirts of the Spanish Fascist, the Falange.
cheers, Raffaello"six italians, dressed in rather unusual diving suits and equipped with materials of laughably little cost have swung the military balance of power in the Mediterranean in favour of the Axis".Comment

Its very interesting the ivolvement of the spanish volunteer in the conflict, first in the DEv (division española de voluntarios) 1941-43, then on the legion 43-44, and then in various units form gebirgsjager units, Waffen SS, so on.
Some of them ended with teh Nordland fighting in Berlin, others, in Austria, others in Northern Italy. Some of them fought with Skoreziny in the ardenns, others in Normandy attached with teh brabndenburg divsion.
We must also state that there was the escuadrilla Azulñ with the Luftwaffe, and some others with teh Kregsmarine.
We must alos sate that some of this vetrans fogt in Moroco before the war, others in the civil war, then in the DEV , legion and waffen SS, I guess those few members were quite battle hardened vetrans and true fightng men!!!
Somo other mebers have original period bue divsion tunics and put toghetr
with origina components, yet I have not persuaded them to post them here
