Franco was really more of a neo-monarchist, which is quite different from a fascist, and of course was very religious. He didn’t engage in the sort of cult of personality / state worship that Hitler and Mussolini propagandized.

Read somewhere he encouraged the hard core fascist ideologies to volunteer to help Hitler on the eastern front where they were, as is knew they would be, chewed up. Don't know the details however, do you?

You’re getting beyond my knowledge of the history there. Sounds very pragmatic, though.

On a related note, if you’ve never read Orwell’s Homage to Catalonia, on his time fighting in the Spanish Civil War, I highly recommend it. It is a short read, and shows what happens when a Leftist encounters hardcore Leftists. (spoiler - he almost gets killed as a not-true-enough believer)

Quite the wake up call.
