6 lies that biggy us about Franco

1- "Franco Spain I avoid entering World War II" : perhaps one of the lies about the most widespread caudillo. The truth is that Franco was willing to give his support for the Nazis in the war, but their territorial claims were too much for Hitler, who refused his help, considering that it was too high a price to pay.

In addition, many experts believe that Spain was involved in World War II by sending nearly 50,000 people to the Blue Division to the Russian front to fight alongside the Nazis.

2-  "My whole life is work and meditation":  Franco presented himself as an ascetic and loving person little luxuries. The truth is that was a lover of golf, hunting and yacht trips to very different activities to practice saying in their leisure time.

3- "In the Franco regime was no corruption":  quite the opposite, according to historians, Franco diverted some resources achieved by your side during the Civil War to their personal assets. The operation did not do anything wrong, because in 1940 had a heritage that today would be about 400 million euros

4- "With Franco was no arrest"  another of the phrases that do not stop to be heard in hard times like these. While the unemployment rate was not as high as today, is a very misleading figure and in which many facotres are not taken into account, as the active population and people of working age, figures today would have meant figures during the dictatorship were far worse than today seem to be.

5- "Franco saved the Jews"  only when Mussolini fell, Franco began to show some tolerance toward this people. Franco not hosted in Spain, but allowed passage through the country and not with few restrictions.

6- "With Franco were no people in prisons":  a circulating fake Facebook notes that during the regime only 8,000 people inhabited the Spanish prisons. The truth is that during the regime of the prison population in the country became more than 100,000 people, many of them for political reasons. In addition, executions were relatively frequent, especially during the early years of dictatorship.
