So.... this one Spanish battalion is supposed to make everything else the nazis did to other races okay?

No... the nazis were shit... No one ever said they weren't. There were also entirely Muslim SS divisions. That doesn't make being a Nazi a cool thing to do. I really just thought it was an interesting old ww2 photo I'd never seen before so I researched it a bit.

Fair enough. I wasn't sure there was a vague implication.

It is neat, I had not heard of these guys before. But it makes perfect sense, as Germany sent volunteers to help fight in the Spanish civil war.

It's a great example of the sometimes odd treaties, alliances and mutual agreements, that occurred around this time.
