one of the more casual photos of the Führer

One girl is wearing a Polish cap and the other a Soviet one, plus they're both wearing earrings. That's just some crappy models with a B&W filter on it.

>"Get in loser, we're raiding Rommel's airfield."

This is from Die Brücke, a 1959 West German film

the german officers marked the house as a fortress ("Festung") on their maps.

source: my book about Stalingrad.

your post won't matter. that image has been reposted as "authentic" on Veeky Forums since at least 2009. it's basically an internet myth by now.

its an authentic film tho :^)

They could be partisans?

I doubt it, I'm pretty sure it's a modern pic. The earrings are and makeup are the biggest giveaway. No real soldier, even female auxiliaries, are going to give a shit about their appearance in that regard, and certainly not soviet women in the 40's.

Here's some pics from the obviously superior Nationalist faction

...

Victorious Nationalists taking surrendering Republican troops as prisoners

>gets butthurt about his party losing the election
>launches a military coup against the democratically elected popular government, which fails miserably
>proceeds to invade his own country with a foreign army
>only wins because he has legions of foreigners with which to bomb and murder his own countrymen
>creates a brutal military dictatorship which establishes concentration camps and state terrorism
>decades later, he is celebrated as "based" by edgy teenagers on the internet

Not once did I say that Franco or his regime was "based" I was simply praising the Nationalist faction during the war. Stay mad, commie faggot.

>F-franco's faction was based! b-but yeah his regime w-wasn't, I guess...
Full damage control

Honestly I'm gonna have to agree that the Nationalists were assholes. Franco himself even said that he would line up half of Spain and execute them if he needed to. A republican victory would have been the best long-term hope for wider stability in Europe. If the allies hadn't been pussies and had intervened on the Republic's behalf, WW2 would have been very different, if it had happened at all. Fucking fascists.

Going to shoot a couple Russians

maybe if they weren't dirty gommies and anarchists the allies would have supported them

Franco may have been a dick, but the Nationalists were a lot better than the faggot Anarchists and Commie trash who infested the Republican faction.

The Wehrmacht simply would have overrun war torn spain. After WW2 though the allies could have set up a democracy so that spain would have had much fewer time under a dictatorship.

I wonder if those haircuts would be within regs today.

Mirin that dude's forearms.

Well the infighting on the Republican side certainly hurt them, and so did all the Stalinist bs the Soviets brought in. But if fucking Chamberlain had half spine and stood up to Hitler and Mussolini, history would have taken a very different course. Germany in '36/'37 was NOT ready for war with France or Britain, and certainly not both. The Spanish government provided the Allies with mountains of Evidence that there were German and Italian combat personnel fighting in Spain, but they stood by and did nothing. And now history remembers them for there incompetence and lack of decisiveness. GG Chamberlain and Daladier.

No, no they weren't. Not at all.

The Republicans were literally just the Spanish people defending their liberty against foreign invasion.

Republican (Moscow-aligned, communist dominated) Iberian peninsula would have meant German invasion of Spain and Portugal (since the Republicans wanted a united peninsula). A lefty Spain could never possibly have remained neutral, the only reason Spain wasn't occupied is because Hitler viewed Franco as an ally (Franco's Spain joined the anti-comintern pact.)

Basically, if Spain (and then inevitably Portugal) had been invaded by the Germans during the war - which would have been inevitable had the republicans won the war - then three things would have happened:

1. Portugal, which was the last escape route for literally millions of refugees fleeing Nazi Europe, becomes Nazi puppet state/is occupied, ensuring the death of at least thousands of political and ethnic refugees from the Nazis.

2. Germans now control the navy ports of the Iberian peninsula, and most likely Portugal's bases on the Azores too. This gives the Germans an advantage in the Atlantic, not to mention the fact that the Azores - as it happened - ended up as a vital naval base for the allies later on in the war, not just for air-supremacy over most of the Atlantic but also as a stop-off for flights between America and Europe.

3. Germans have strategic control over the entrance to the mediterranean and have a much more powerful position over North Africa. This puts Patin's eventual North-African campaign in to question, not least with respect to maintaining a safe supply chain.

Neutral Spain and Portugal were an absolutely massive help to the allies, mores than if they had joined on the Allied side, since the Wehrmacht would have just curb stomped them.

thats not accurate at all, you realise the population was split roughly 50-50 republican to nationalist?

SS cavalry, let that sink in, my niggas.

Also note the stripped mg-42(?) In the side car
