,1,*This video is not meant in any way to condone, defend or glorify the political positions taken by Azov and others, simply to give a balanced view on the battalion for documentary purposes.*
Perhaps one of the most controversial military formations to appear in the Russo-Ukrainian War waged in the Donbas, the Azov Battalion/Regiment has frequently been at the heart of controversy in Ukraine. They have frequently been condemned for their far-right rhetoric, and many believe Azov and groups like it inspired Putin's claim that he is 'de-Nazifying' Ukraine. Find out more about the origin, history, and ideology of Azov, as well as their role in the current Russian Invasion of Ukraine (2022) in this video.

Spain is the largest country in Western Europe not to have taken part in the fighting of the Second World War. From 1936-1939 the Spanish fought the bloody Spanish Civil War between the Nationalists/Monarchists/Fascists and the Republicans/Communists/Anarchists/Liberals on the other. During the conflict Fransisco Franco's rebels received aid both from Nazi Germany and from Fascist Italy, and upon his victory the two likely thought they could count Spain as an ally in the upcoming war against the Allies. While early on in 1940 Spain did seem poised to enter the war on the side of the Axis, Franco frustrated Hitler at the last minute several times, and in the end Spain remained steadfastly neutral despite aiding the Germans in a number of ways.
