1. At least he still had his neighbor Salazar

2. People forget the atrocities Franco’s regime committed. And this dictator was in power until the 1970’s. Crazy

3. Hitler was certainly no friend of Franco’s.

   They hated each other.

4. Also the Dominican republic’s Rafael Trujillo (I think)

5. the autumn of the patriarch

6. Well, he lived another fourteen years…

7. in ’62 Salazar was still alive, sitting there to the side just out of frame going like “what am I? chopped liver??”

8. Right in the feels 😓

9. Sic semper tyrannis – though Franco died in his own bed

10. oh yes, Franco the jew-saver, a friend of Hitler

11. Allies abandoned us. Shame. (From Spain)
