Visit of Heinrich Himmler to Spain in 1940 information


Himmler in San Sebastián with José Finat and Gerardo Caballero Olabézar [es].

The visit of Nazi leader Heinrich Himmler to Spain in October 1940 had a major propaganda component for the Francoist regime, which at that time was invested in a diplomatic rapprochement with Nazi Germany with the anticipation of Spain's entry into World War II in support of the Axis powers. Himmler's stay in Spain took place between 19 and 24 October.[1] It was one of the very few trips that the Nazi leader made to neutral countries.[2]
