Yes, they were Nationalists. Most were from the 'falange', civil war veterans and students as well.

Greetings,

Glad you are well and learning the sad history of the Iberian penninsula in the 1930s and 1940s. The state of the Spanish and Portugese volunteers by 1943 was leading to domestic problems for Franco, as the troops were treated as second citizens and unmotivated by the German military leadership. What remained was eventually called back in 1944 before the seige of Lenningrad ended. It is a sad story.

As for RedBaron, you are right. I had forgotten to modify the executable attributes profile to relect either WIN95 or WIN98 as Redbaron was first a WIN95 product that was "somewhat" enhanced in its 3D generation with WIN98 compliance. I did try this fix, but it did not resolve anything, however. I had taken my sound rant to the RedBaron secton and recieved some very good help today with a 'RB3D_ReLoad_1.166.zip' patch. See my rantings in the post for more information.

5555 you seem to have a very good knowledge of part of the Portuguese and Spanish history in the 20th century.
