Yes I have Skipper. They seem to be alot more well known then the ones fighting for the Allies. There was The Blue Division (Division Azul) was designated the 250th (“Blue”) Infantry Division of the Wehrmachtand the Blue Squadron (Esquadrilla Azul). The Blue Legion (Legion Azul) who on the repatriation of the Blue Division in December 1943, became the the Blue Legion and was formed from men who decided to stay and continue the fight against communism. And the Waffen-SS 'Unit Ezquerra'.
