Description: FRANCISCO FRANCO ARRIVED TO HENDAYE ON OCTOBER 23, 1940 ORIGINAL US ARMY OFFICIAL PHOTOOn October 23, 1940 Francisco Franco arrived by train to meet German Chancellor in the station of the French border town of Hendaye a few kilometres from San Sebastian. Führer’s intention was to pressure Franco into joining the war on the Axis side and allowing his army free passage across Spain to seize Gibraltar from the British. Despite his enormous ascendancy as conqueror of France and commander of the largest, best equipped army in Europe, he didn’t succeed. Indeed he abruptly and rather rudely left the conversations, which had gone on all afternoon and until late into the evening, frustrated and annoyed. Pro-Franco propaganda later portrayed the Spanish Caudillo (Leader) as a canny politician whose heroic, imperturbable stubbornness saved a war-weary Spain from getting involved on the losing side. This version is still hotly debated by the historians. Measures approx. 8" x 10" (20,3 cm x 25,2 cm)
