“La división Azul”

Lets relate his story (chat gpt Made it it can contain mistakes) if You are interested i reccomend You to research his story in yootube:

The Blue Division was a unit of Spanish volunteers that fought alongside German forces on the Eastern Front during World War II. Formed in 1941 by Francisco Franco’s regime, the division was made up of Falangists and military personnel who were sympathetic to the regime and who primarily saw combat during the siege of Leningrad.

Although Spain officially remained neutral in the war, Franco sent this division to show support for Hitler against the Soviet Union. In 1943, due to international pressure and the unfavorable turn of the war, Franco ordered their withdrawal. Nevertheless, some volunteers chose to continue fighting in other German units.

The Blue Division is remembered for its toughness in battle and as a symbol of Spain’s collaboration with Nazi Germany during a period heavily influenced by anti-communism.

This Will be His event weapon:

it could work.

if only they didn’t get rid of the patches over uniforms like the Feldgendarmerie tunic where it had / was supposed to get patches over the uniform.

fdg_missing_patch_icon

or even ranks base on the alpha:
enlisted-20220217-152905-0001-GiLMzbaE

and / or for example, some of the US uniforms did had, and to some extent, do have patches " slots ".


( funnily enough, tankers do still retein their patch, but for some LOD issue, it won’t load from up close. and it’s 7 months that this issue has been reported. but anyway )

even just recently, devs showed that those pieces are still there, since in the store the paratroopers units had patches in the promotional material.

which, promotional material comes straight out of the editor with modified filters and what not.

it would just need to be allowed/implemented onto other tunics, and we could have something similar for all other squads.

and, create specific helmets with appliable decals.
something like:

but again. it could work in a fixed position like the US jackets.

and we could get other nations too:


or different branches

sad that they thought about something similar for both the germans and us, but never followed through.

The idea is interesting. I would like them to add Castilian voices when fighting, but also if they are added, I would like to add to the Russians the Spaniards who fought for them and to the allied forces the division that fought to liberate Paris…

Glad to see there is still a lot of interest in this idea

I was in that post!

at least someone every week ask for this squad as event or premium, just search blue Division in the forum search tab

Also reinforcement received is written wrong :nerd_face:

By the way because everyone are going to boost their own soon

It would be a nice premium squad.

It would be even nicer if they added more decals and decorators back in on the soldiers themselves. Hopefully that will be added back in as the game matures.

I mean is an interesting division ngl also have very Unique weapons and a very good story also it Would be a gift for the enlisted spanish community

Bad English srry XD
