Subject: Thanks
Thanks for the video of Franco there.

The remarks made by some demonstrate the level of ignorance about the Caudillo in this time of universal deceit and brainwashing by Marxists.

Thanks to General Franco, for 36 years Spain was 'One, Great and Free'.

Franco saved Spain from communist barbarism. Some say that he attacked the Spanish Republic and democracy - that is false. At that time, a far left government which included the communists was in power, and persecuted all who did not buckle to communism, along with Christians. 7000 Christians were slaughtered along with more than 10% of all the clergy of Spain. May the memory of these martyrs never be forgotten.

Franco simply did what was right and honorable, and fought a Crusade to save Spain, Christian civilization and family values. Against all odds, he won the war.

Franco did not fight for the Nazis during WWII. It was actually he who ensured the victory of the Allies, as he refused Hitler access through Spain to Gibraltar, which would have won Germany the war. He saved 60000 Jews from the holocaust during the war by issuing them with Spanish passports. Anti-Semitism was never practised under the Franco regime.

If only we had a man like that today.

Honour the memory of the General who refused to buckle under the communist and liberal yoke.

VIVA FRANCO!

franco was a axis power a ally of nazis he changed sides when he saw his old buddy hitler getting beat. .. he not only diported jews to camps he helped fund and gave arms and men to nazis.
im disgusted the way they portray him in that news reel . he helped kill millions of jews hundreds of americans and thousands of other europeans,
and yet the us gave him tanks..

well after ww2 the U.S. wanted to put a air base in spain franco was all to happy to let them.( knowing wich side his bread was buttered) it was a disgusting act

Subject: Franco "defeated"
Franco did not defeat comunists but a democratic republican republic in which comunists were just one more, and minoritary, faction. Franco did not beat to the legitime Spanish government (out of poll ballots) with the help of the USA, but of the german and italian dictators, Franco and Mussolini.

In Spain there no were a Revolution! Franco was a dictator, like Hitler, like Mussolini, like Stalin.
