ドイツのスペイン内戦への介入は、スペイン内戦が勃発した1936年7月からすぐに開始され、アドルフ・ヒトラーは直ちに強力な空軍と装甲部隊をフランシスコ・フランコ将軍の率いる反乱軍[* 1]を支援するために派遣した。
German involvement in the Spanish Civil War began as soon as Spanish Civil War broke out in July 1936, Adolf Hitler immediately sent in powerful air and armored units to assist General Francisco Franco and his Nationalist forces. The Soviet Union sent in smaller forces to assist the Republican government, while Britain and France and two dozen other countries set up an embargo on any munitions or soldiers into Spain.
ドイツは禁輸措置に同意をしたものの、これを無視した。 スペイン内戦はドイツにとって、兵器及びその関連技術と戦術の実験場となった。 また、内戦のエスカレートは世界大戦のきっかけとなりうるものでもあった。このために、ヒトラーはドイツの介入を限定的なものとし、大規模な軍事介入はムッソリーニのイタリアにまかせることとした。
Germany also signed the embargo but simply ignored it. The war provided combat experience with the latest technology for the German military. However, the intervention also posed the risk of escalating into a world war for which Hitler was not ready. He therefore limited his aid, and instead encouraged Mussolini to send in large Italian units. Franco's Nationalists were victorious; he became an informal ally of Germany, while remaining neutral in the Second World War. The Spanish episode lasted three years and was a small-scale prelude to the world war which broke out in 1939.[1]
Nazi support for General Franco was motivated by several factors, including as a distraction from Hitler's central European strategy, and the creation of a Fascist Spain friendly to Germany to threaten France. It further provided an opportunity to train men and test equipment and tactics.
