Chevy Chase will be upset. Not! He’s a flaming liberal and has no idea who fought against whom in the Spanish Civil War.
Interestingly, Franco saved a number of French Jews fleeing Nazi occupation. I’ll bet you didn’t hear this on CNN or MSNBC or NBC, CBS, or ABC.
Franco was a very complex man, a very hard fighter and a dictator like many other European leaders (Hitler, Mussolini, Salazar, Horthy, Stetskos, etc. History will eventually judge him properly if written by honest historians without an ideological ax to grind.
