As far as Fr. Angles and the National Socialist German Workers' Party, remember that Hitler and Italy under Mussolini, both were pivotal in saving Spain from being annihilated by the International Communists which were supported by the USSR under Stalin. The communist in Spain were rabidly anti-Catholic and would torture, rape, burn and kill priest and nuns on sight, as well as demolish churches and anything Catholic. They were wacked out rabid crazy. Without the military aid of Germany and the Italians, Fr. Angles would likely have never have been even born. Also remember that the American volunteers who went to fight in the Spanish cινιℓ ωαr all went to fight alongside the communists.
A Spaniard having a high regard for the Germans should be no surprise to anyone that knows anything about Spain.
