What was Franco?

A dictator. People disappeared. Lived in real poverty.

I met an old guy who spoke of living under Franco with fondness. Odd, that conversation. Only Franquista I ever met.

A great hero who saved Spain from communism, saved hundreds of Jews from Nazi extermination, and turned his country over to a sane leader so that it could become a democracy.

Franco? What about him? He was pretty much a typical military strongman in the Latin tradition. he allied himself with the dictators who supported his ride to power, but he didn’t take their side in WW2. Is this what you consider evidence that the Nazis were right-wing?
