Spain's Influence on World War II

Our involvement in the war that has become known as teh Spanish Civil War has proven vital for the Axis powers in World War II. As a rebel soldier and supporter of Francisco, I was only concerned with our victory, not the victory of the Germans. However, it was Germany's support that allowed them to test the success of the military strategy known as blitzkrieg. Additionally, the support of Germany on one side and the Soviet Union on the other proved to be a sort of proxy war, and was just a rehearshal for a much more vicious and devestating war that is now occuring throughout Europe and the rest of the world.
