I think Spain was not on the Axis side in WWII :sweat_smile:.

47000 did join the blue division.

LOL, so what? It’s like adding Soviet weapons to Germany, since Germany had the Russian Liberation Army (ROA).

No not quite.
Thats a strange comaprison.
A Spanish blue division event squad would be entirely accurate.

Spain was actively supplying Axis with weapons, material and even volunteers.
It would be realistic to add the gun.

Wrong - both sides supported each other.

"… During World War II, Spain, under the leadership of Francisco Franco, was officially neutral but maintained close political and economic ties with Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy. While not joining the Axis powers, Spain provided significant support to Germany, including allowing the deployment of the “Blue Division” of Spanish volunteers to fight on the Eastern Front. Germany, in turn, provided military and economic aid to Franco’s regime during and after the Spanish Civil War……"

  • This support included the deployment of the “Condor Legion,” a unit of German air and ground forces that played a crucial role in key battles.
  • The “Blue Division,” composed of Spanish volunteers, was allowed to fight on the Eastern Front alongside German forces, demonstrating Spain’s tacit support for the Axis.

I like that weapon. Mybe you like the other more which i linked in the first comment under these post. :slight_smile:

Okay, I see you don’t even understand that. How many Labora Fontbernat M-1938 submachine guns were there in the Blue Division or in Germany?

Both sides supported each other militarily, including weapons. So the proposal is completely legitimate, whether you like it or not. So deal with it. :kissing:
"… * No Formal Delivery:

While Spain provided some weapons and materials to Germany, this was primarily through trade and collaboration rather than formal weapons deliveries as part of an alliance…

Funfact: the Labora Fontbernat M-1938 was even smuggled into france by spanish partisans, where it was used against the german occupying forces. That basically means it could also provided as an (event) weapon for (french) guerrilla squads but that is not my intention.

To deny this fact and to claim “spain did not support nazi germany” whether they did with soldiers, weapons and material (tungsten) disqualifies you from any further discussion. :slight_smile: so bye

By this logic, the US could get a squad of Chinese with Fedorov assault rifles, since the USSR helped China.

The allies have a Chinese event squad armed with Chinese weapons which they can use in the european theatre.
So do the rules only apply to one faction?
It is not unreasonable to believe that some of the 47000 Spanish volunteers had Spanish weapons.

I ask, can we give the US a Chinese squad with Fyodorov assault rifles?

I guess, make your own topic about it.

Did Chinese troops fight in Europe?

They fought in Burma.

No, I am ridiculing the biased position of the author, who agrees to the Labora Fontbernat M-1938 for Germany, but does not agree to the Fedorov assault rifle for the USA. Adding weapons that did not exist is nonsense. There is nothing to discuss here.

How many murricans were fighting in red army ? Half track, tommy, bazooka, P40
Or how many wehrmacht soldiers were fighting for red army ? Faust, mp40 and so on.

Perhaps you should start asking those to be removed if you are so strict about nationalities.
