Interesting find. Thanks for posting these.

The Spanish blue division fought valiantly on the Eastern Front, particularly in the Leningrad area against superior Soviet forces and paid dearly for it through losses of men. For this reason they were withdrawn from the war due to growing anti-war sentiments in Spain. After that only volunteers we're allowed to join the Wehrmacht.
