My favorite Spanish Falangist(?) is Leocadio Jiménez Caravaca. He gained a reputation for bravery in WW2 and some cool quotes are attributed to him, like "I spent the best years of my life blowing up communists. I never once thought of retiring."
He got arrested for allegedly supplying weapons used in the Atocha attack. I could never find out any more info about him, such as a date of death. The only book mentioning him was in Spanish, so it was hard for me to translate, but it was written from a leftist perspective, and it was not sympathetic. I didn't trust it. Anyway, to Señor Caravaca and all other members of the División Azul, RIP.
