I asked AI if Spanish troops had seen combat in defense of Europe and got the answer that there was a special division of Spanish volunteers in the Wehrmacht fighting against the USSR. Reassuring.
1936: fascists staged a coup in Spain, Mussolimi and Hitler backed and aided the coup plotters and got to unseat the elected government. By the liberation of Paris, Spain was under a repressive fascist dictatorship. The world forgot about Spain then and now and AI won't tell you this.
