The Blue Division was a Spanish military unit that participated in the Soviet Union during World War II, as part of the German forces. Composed mostly of Falangist and Francoist volunteers, the Blue Division was sent in 1941 to fight on the eastern front against the Red Army. Although it distinguished itself in battles such as Leningrad, Spanish participation was limited and it eventually withdrew in 1944. The Blue Division was a complex episode in Spain’s military history, marking its unique collaboration in the world conflict.
