Is there a possibility that non-Spaniards served in the Division Azul.
In my info about Flemisch volunteers i have a note that he served in the Division Azul. Is there a way to check this info?

Re: Division Azul Question
Though the most numerous foreigners in the Blue Division were the Portuguese and then the Russians, there were also volunteers from other countries, generally not more than one or two in each case, including Belgium AFAIK.
You should contact the Archivo General Militar (located in Ávila), where the documentation from the División Española de Voluntarios (División Azul) is preserved.
