WWII Spanish Blue Division Pin División Azul Eagle Falange Badge Original Rare
Original Spanish WWII Blue Division. Pin with Eagle, Falange Insignia. Very beautiful with three enamel colors – red, black and white. 1 3/4″ long, 1 3/8″ wide. The all-volunteer’Blue Division’ was a formation of volunteers that allowed Franco’s technically neutral Spain to support Nazi Germany’s invasion of Russia. Following initial training in Germany, the Blue Division’s units were sent to the Eastern Front in August 1941, where the Division fought in several major battles including Leningrad. In 1943, with the tide turning against the Axis forces in Russia, the Division was ordered to be withdrawn, yet many men chose to stay on and serve with the Volunteer Legion. Even after the collapse in the East, some volunteered to serve with Waffen-SS units through to the fall of Berlin in 1945.
