List of World War II weapons of Spain
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of weapons used by Spain during World War II. Francoist Spain remained neutral throughout the world war, but Spanish dictator Francisco Franco had Axis sympathies due to Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany helping him win the Spanish Civil War. This list is only for Spain and does not cover the Blue Division, which was a part of the Wehrmacht and not the Spanish Army.
