Erik,

I don't regard Spain as an ally to Germany, the Spaniards fought as foreign volunteers in formations of the Heer and Waffen-SS.

/Marcus

Officially not as an ally but the Spanish Government officially authorized the formation of Spanish volunteers or the Division Azul to fight under the Wehrmacht against Soviet Union.

Finland
Axel-Erich Heinrichs (5 Aug 1944)
Carl-Gustav Emil Mannerheim (18 Aug 1941, 8 Aug 1944) *

Then does that mean Finland was really an Axis nation?

[Doktor Krollspell]

Hello Björn from Norway!

I've never read anything about the Swiss Waffen-SS volunteer Peter Renold, nor can I find anything about him and I've searched several Ritterkreuz sources.
Can you post your information, rank and dates on this man?


Regards,

Krollspell
