| #4 "We have backed the wrong horse in Spain. We would have done better to back the Republicans. They represent the people. We could always have converted these socialists into good National Socialists later. The people around Franco are all reactionary clerics, aristocrats, and moneybags – they've nothing in common with us Nazis at all!" -- Adolf Hitler, April 1938 |

| #3 This would indicate somewhere between March to May by 1936 standards. The irony was that the Fascists backed Franco who turned out to be an anti-socialist. If you want real deep irony, the Spanish Blue Division of volunteers fought along side the National Socialist Germans against the Communist Soviet Socialists who had support from capitalists like Churchill.

| #2 - In 1935, you ran guns to Ethiopia. In 1936, you fought in Spain, on the Loyalist side. - I got well paid for it on both occasions. Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose! |
