Generalissimo Franco adjusted to a postwar era where a perceived friend of Hitler and Mussolini could have a target painted on him, where German state violence towards Jews and others had become notorious (albeit not in the semi-religious sense later while Soviet violence was deliberately erased). Division Azul was one of the best foreign contingents on the eastern front, avoid the riotous violence towards civilians that portions of the invasion force could be prone to (although sincere efforts were made, throwing criminals into punishment battalions while nothing needs to be said of the Red Army, whose atrocities were encouraged) anyhow far better than most other foreign contingents. El Caudillo saw how the US was beginning to properly understand the menace of the Red Empire, and adjusted his rhetoric to the times. Jєωιѕн banksters had not quite displaced the old WASP class, so rhetoric had to be carefully honed.

His personal guard was drawn from these tough, fearsome fighters.
