The 250th Infantry Division better known as the Blue Division was a unit of Spanish Volunteers fighting within the German Army Wehrmacht on the Eastern Front from 1941 to 1944. During the Spanish Civil War the nationalists army received support from Hitler and Nazi Germany. While Spain remained officially neutral during World War 2, it did sympathise with the Axis powers. Spanish people were permitted to enlist privately in the German Army. The Spanish Blue Division fought on the Eastern Front and took part in the siege of Leningrad. Hundreds of Blue Division soldiers were held as prisoners of war by the Soviet authorities. While most prisoners would be repatriated after the war, it was not until the death of Stalin in 1954, that the French Ref Cross arranged to bring the prisoners home to Barcelona.
