CHAPTER XXXIV Spanish Blue Legion. (November 1943 to MAY 1944)
34-01. Final sequence:
Section I, Heading A-1 has noted that after the repatriation of DEC in November 1943 2,200 people remained with Russia to form a new Unit as an Regiment and continue their fight for assistance from Wehrmacht. Possibly "cover-up of today's political intrigue at its highest level.
History repeated itself once again. Those 2,200 Spaniards would become toys of destination under similar circumstances as those developed by the 3,500 compatriots from "José Bonaparte 'Regiment in 1812 / 814, described at chapter 3's PRECURSORES.
34-02. LEV Organization.
On November 27, 1943 the organization of a Spanish Legion for Volunteers (LEV) began with personnel from his newly dissolved Blaue Division ID-250 Nr. WH and the last troops of Replacement, Relevo & March Battleons have been newly arrived at their concentration point with Jawburg area as well.
The LEV's personnel have been framed with three Flags, a Battalion and an important Leg Command Plate.
Section of the LEV: First Flag, 1st and 2nd Infantry Company (1). Second Flag: 5th, 6th and 7th Company of Infantry with 8th Machines. 3 Flag: Mixed and Artillery, Bargain. LEV's Major Plan: Mandos, Aids and Reporters with Burocracy. Feldgendarmerie have two Civil Guard sections (1) MG = Maschinengewehr
34-03. Depurations:
75 individuals with dubious confidence for the LEV Command have been rejected as purified and returned to Spain under similar circumstances from "undesirable DEVs' reported in Section I (011) A.4.
PRECURSORES, Section III) cites the execution of 60 Spanish members from José Bonaparte Regiment and sentenced in 1812. (038-842

34th. LEV's FIRE (HKL) entry.
Day 15- DIC-1943, the LEV occupies advanced positions from Voljov Front and Mga River Sector with an interdined 122nd division of WH Granaderos. The same territory was pounded by the Blaue Division during Winter (winter) 1941 / 42.
The LEV's mission: "That of sacrifice, 'previously entrusted to the Warm and his work. Ingratious service developed by the LEV within an overall retreat of all North Army from Wehrmacht.
And... how about that? The Spanish legionaries have also been singing, as their predecessors of the DEC and they repeat those repertories that were increased with them.
A sentinel of the LEV during a gelid nightstand, shook his lung with its following aragonese jota:
The Virgin of Pilar says she doesn't want to be French, and wants To become Captain with the Aragonese troops. And a Viva España! isn't enough to be good Spanish, so I fight and that's why we always shout up Spain.
The screams, in his heart and with that improvised legion tenor of the LEV have been lengthened by advanced Soviets from C.A. (a few days earlier they had moved KA to CA: Red Army for Soviet Military). The response was with an effective Russian-run gunfire, that thanks to "power economy 'they put ammunition back for better and soon arrived:
Be quiet at night, and everything's calm.
of the Great Tango SILENCE!, complete in Section XXIV (200).
34th. Replay the LEV.
20-ENERO-1944. The LEV was ordered to back up and protect the withdrawal of its members from his army.
Retiring with "retirement protection, 'the LEV reached Tapa town passing through Narva to its west.

34th. Repatriation of the LEV.
06-MARZO-1944, the Spanish Legion of Volunteers is focused at Lechis to get back into Spain and train.
The political intrigues had decided that Spain should move from "Non-belligerent and neutral, with respect to the war conflict became a global issue called World War II (GM-I).
The LEV's Flags, in successive convoys fc and from Lechis to Spain with an arrival at Irun as of April 1944. On May 10, 1944 at Irún's Fc station the last official train with injuries from DEC and LEV was received. The French-Spanish border would be followed by scattered elements from the dissolved and broken units of Spain that integrated Wehrmacht.
That's a sad turn back with his defeat at the back. Cold and isolated copies for repatriated Spanish legionaries. The Triunfal March of Reubén Darius (Cap. XXVIII) would not sound. The "Now comes the courtship!, 'replaced by Woe to those who have been defeated. See TIROLAI PI, 34-11.
The wars are this way: To the winners, branches of flowers and to those who have been defeated with repudiation or ostracism.
34th. The last of Berlin:
05-MAYO-1945, in the Berlin defensive cuts they fight Spanish and most come from DEV- LEV. Several of them have been sending a defence sector with an official rank as his superior officer
Some components of the LEV have refused to be repatriated and decided at their own risk that they will join units from Wehrmacht or SS. The survivors returned, scattered from 10 May 1944.

34th. Retiring prisoners.
On April 2, 1954 his ship with an International Red Cross flag from Odessa was raided by the port of Barcelona. His passengers were 286 Spanish returnees from the USSR / CCCP as prisoners of GULAG Concentration Campuses under his Ministry for Internal Affairs (N.K.V.D.).
The 286 Spanish returnees from the USSR / CCCP were held captive by war for different reasons. Breakdown: (a) The Blue Division's components = 248. b] Flying and Republican Merchant Seatmen with their share of the "Red Winged 'aviation number, as at 1 March 19.c TOTAL: 286 redeemed.
The 248 (a), most of them come from the DEC and LEV or EIA as Retiminators for War. See page 189). A small group were assembled as divisionaries, protected by repatriated officers. They were the desertors of The Blue Division, repenting their "Abandono de Bandera (Fahnanflechtiger as German figure). See page 191). Also, with their divisionaries and atypical ones as described above.
34th. atypical repatriates:
The Spanish people repatriated as prisoners of the Blue Division, listed under Section (08) above and referred to them have been put up with a prisoner's imprisonment. Let's have a...
JEMMLE: Private Jesús Sainz Balza, from Bilbao. He was enlisted at the DEV in June 1941 and his first company with a First Battalion of its 1st Infantry Regiment (1-I-262) He served at the Cooking by Cape Firiel, ALFREDO GONZÁLEZ DIEZ and his information about this case.
In June 1942, soldier Balza was repatriated as a minor. He goes back to the DEV at one of his last Replacement and March Battlements. In November 1943, she decided to move onto the LEV and its unit was part of them up till April 1944. The Spanish components were dissolved with their back in Spain as reported at 34th-06)
Spring 1945, after June II at GM- and second place in Europe. Jesus Sainz Balza goes through the Pirenaic border with his direction to France occupied by Wehrmacht as well while training an international company that was co-opted from The Carpates of Soviet Arma (soon before Red Armiyia)
Jesus Sainz Balza referred his experiences as GULAG's pB...
Page 5
... in his interviews with their first Fury / 262, who reproduces them: At the SS Unit and enlisted they arrived at Kárpato's but without entering into combat have been cut off from a defensive position of German Resistance Line. The rising advance of Soviet Armiyia broke up German retreation, precipitated and without order.
After several days in isolation, Jesus S. Balza and partners decided to get down into the nearest town with their new occupants. The Soviets, ipso facto and killed all of Balza's fellow Russians at the German SS Unit.
Jesus S. Balza as a Prisoner of War (PB) passed about 10 years through different LAGERS from the USSR / CCCP. He met with former partners from First / 262 Blue Division. He experienced death from depauperation - dystrophy according to Russian Health. Some died at the middleboard biting his fingers, as a sergeant caught in Krasnyj Bor and known to Alfredo y Balza.
He endured, Balza and his great suffering from the bad conditions of their production with them as a result that they had been put to work at an office's laundry place.
Alicante, 1996 as reported by Jesus S. Balza was ratified by a mutilated Retirement from the SEMIRAMI, who co-lived with Ballra at Russian Campos de Prisioneros Guerra.
Jesus Sainz Balza, after his return from Russia in 1954 and was put at the Provincial Library of Vizcaya (Bilbao) as an ordinance treated with Redeem by Blue Division. He died in 1980 for his delicate health, contracted at Soviet Paradise.

34-10. The discipline at the DEV / LEV.
Discipline, "difficult issue to discuss. The purification performed at ID.250 Nr has been described as currently in Section 1. WH, newly arrived DEC to the Vojov Front at winter 1941 / 42 and select those who have been called "undesirable 'but are assembled for special expedition of rejected people into Spain.
Section 3, "PRECURSORES 'dedicated to the José Bonaparte Regiment of Grand Armee describes how 60 Spanish members have been executed.
The conduct of an exemplary campaign with respect to the enemy includes a reference from Blaue Division about his and her actions.
The following elements:
(a) Stingy pallet and tit!
Yes, pounding of punishment. September 1941, Molodezno and Poland under the occupation of Wehrmacht. Gurriato Battalion formed their four companies in closed order with a sealed quadrilateral system that resulted from an I-262 battle to have been put into place as they saw them conduct his "get 100 pat 'punishment purified by some Spanish manipah accused about violating WehMast's regulations concerning treatment for civilian population on occupied territory
A crime? That would have been a bad and fair situation. The tax fact was: "to permute tobacco by Kartosas = potatoes. According to OKW, these deals with the civilian population VERBOTEN! That's forbidden. The punishment would be an "exemplary.
(b) Winter 1941 / 42, firing.
Delicious end of a very young soldier. At Nowgorod la Grande, commissioners from the 1st / 262 saw an execution by gun and firing of a puripas with his death sentence under Supreme Procedure charged to "autodueling against their enemy.
It appears that he was surprised, the accused with his barefoot and tipple feet above snow as a sentinel at The Fire Line (HKL).
Dairy situation for the sign of INDIVIDUAL and CONFORME that knew his family. The Capellan who helped him endured powerful scenes.
The accused paid with his life for the "lesson given to maintain strict discipline, as required before an enemy in contest. He's been a "Turk head, and that is to say: The target of charges.
See TIROLAI PI ratifying the reported punishments (34.11).

34-11. Lieutenant TIROLAIPI.
Lieutenant TIROLAIPI has been the most famous character of The Blue Division and his best mentioned Officer in an extensive universal literature dedicated to DEC.
The Provisional Infantry Lieutenant Don Ismael GARCAA-ROMEU VINENT, formed at the First Battalion of "Pimentelle 'infantry regiment and held in Burgos with his first train convoy from DEC to have been built up after June 1941 by Irún as an earlier day. Lt. Robeu returned to Spain at his last train of returnees, officially as wounded from the DEV and LEV. EAE (10-MAYO- 1944)
Since Lieutenant Robeu (at 1-262 there was another lieutenant Garcia, so Ismael's name had been Lt Revieus) belonged to the same Battalion as his relative and I consider myself committed To dedicated him a memorial.
Lt. Robeu had his face pitted by multiple arms injuries and Russian roulette's lung He was high and his pitiful, brave with fear for their boldness or audacity. Most of all he had been educated at a fair level while I held up the furries industry in office as an association to its Section (MG) from FYROM 1-I-262
Lieutenant Robeu's stomach required double food ration, an supplement that was made available to him when he depended on Captain Sergio 1-I-262.
Above the parapets and trenches, emulating Tarzan with his light tipting up at TrolaiiIii... () responded by its opposition as they were but less so when their response was fire from shells whose bullets curved to TIROLAIPI's silhouette that had been turned onto a magnetic force line of her imanted body. That resulted in Torawani 's nickname
Lt TIROLAIPI with outstanding campaign services returned to Spain using the same employment as his lieutenant at its entrance into DEC, pending a course of Transformation. The Spanish Army had recently been replaced with "Progress on a Scale of 40%.
The book "And They Failed at Krasnyj Bor and Vadillo, report several performances by Lieutenant TIROLAIPI. Later, at "Balada Final de la Dirigizo Azul (final balance of the Blue Division) and his earlier sessions with Lt TIROLAIPI in Spanish Legion for Volunteers.
Page 8
During February 1994 - after 50 years), Lieutenant TIROLAIPI and Cabo Alfredo coincide with them at the residential complex "Ciudad Patricia 'in Benidorm (Alicante.
Alfredo, as Retiro of Civil Guard and his police lieutenant with a strong recognition for co-existence at the Blue Division was introduced to Colonel Robeu.
Colonel Garcia-Robeu belonged to the Benemérit Corps of War Mutilates by his homeland, dissolved in 1992 under Act 17 / 1989 regulating a professional military regime and passing TIROLAIPI into retirement status from Title 1 with respect To State Passive Classes Statute.
Act No. 17 of 1989 purported his or her honorary promotion. Once again TIROLAIPI have been disadvantaged with promotions because of changing legislation. Colonel Garcia- Romeo would have been promoted to General Honour if passed onto RETIRADA at his age but belonged with the Mute Corps as an asset.
The 8 times wounded in his campaign have been caused by the after-actions of prostheses at their hips and with a laringectomized speech loss, as they communicate through written languages.
Colonel Garcica- Robeu expressed his pride with their military career and resigned to the health that God conserved, animated by His currently-born wife Aurora's ten sons held at first woman who died of natural death. He had 18 grandchildren as of 1997.
34-12. Macabre event at LEV.
TIROLAIPI's report: The First Cape of the LEV Bernardo Bear Gutiérrez - earlier at 4th -262) was seriously wounded by raising a minefield, urgently evacuated to Kriegslazaret his leg been severed and an same day killed in action with Alpér Palma.
Lieutenant TIROLAIPI, commissioned at the funeral of Ensign Palma and visited Cape 1 Bear with his pitted leg put into an apdid grave by tirolaipi. When tirolapi told Bear, his assignment was complete and he said: "That's an issue with Ensign Palma on the Day of Resurrection.
Fates 25 and 26 of the book "Final Balada de la DEC, 'describe this bewildering event.
Page 9
34-13. RATIFICATIONS:
November 1996, with his wives and their families they have been living together at the IAFAS Hotel of Alicante.
The Retiro Colonel Don Ismael GARCAA-ROMEC VINENT confirmed in writing - orally remains apponic by laringectomized) as referred to at SOLDIED ALEGRES related with both experiences of the DEV. He expressed his willingness to uphold the following accounts:
(a) EXAMPLAR FUNCTION: A soldier with hundreds of pounding sticks in his presence at Battalion I-262 and closed training. Corrobates the shooting at Nowgorod of a soldier accused with autofrostations.
TIROLAIPI adds that it was appointed to send the squad for an execution of a LEV legion sentenced with death. He could have been elude from his retirement, with a high level of injuries at an actual service.
(b) SIMBOLIC TUMBES: Valids the symbolic tombs at DEC, citing those of his two soldiers broken with an opposite canyon and their remains were buried in same place as "action 'while they have been built up its Symbolic ombages from MesteRevo's Cemetery. Highlight the symbolic grave of Sergeant 1-I-262, at a road border close to Vitebsk.
34-14. MIMORANDUM:
Tirolaipi recalled: "You have given me a cat for an hour's time, and they are supplying him with horse meat at his hot ranch. Alfredo clarified that the meat was from an equine cattle, and his horses were wounded by opposite fire with carnage mantipas. The scrupulous have been given cold ranch.
He later remarked that as I gave him the novelity at Bunker, his eyes were covered with cold-snow and they looked like a ghost. It was clarified that during the long course with a temperature of less than 30 degrees under zero (− 3º C), his breathing vapus froze into their eyebrows and as they entered shelters catchy snow became reality.
Page 10
34-15. REPLIES:
The receding of LEV at the Eastern Front, during his retirement from German Army have been as bad for TIROLAIPI in all its campaign actions. Partisan and demoralised troops. The Retiring Command, with no logistics and bad backups or supplies. The civilian population, one party fleeing and another supporting the guerrillas.
1943. Trolaipi with a uniform [partially illegible word] of German police lieutenant.

Farewell to Colonel of Infan- teria Mute Knight P. Ismael Garcia-Romeo. Farewell to Lt. TIROLAIPI.
Farewell to a friend.
On the late evening of September 22 I received news about his death from Colonel de Infanteria, Captain Mutilado Permanente and Ismael Garcia. He gave me information by phone with her wife Aurora as she returned to tanatoriums where their body had been incinerated His death had happened the previous day at M. Hospital GOMEZ ULLA, where she had been admitted three weeks earlier with illnesses that have increased and serious but without anything medical science can do to improve her condition worse every day. Trolaipi, legendary lieutenant Garcia-Romeo at the Blue Division and Legion our dear friend Ismael gave up his good God brought him to His glory for an eternally deserved rest.
We have been deeply sad about the knowledge of this news, especially those we had with great luck in these last few years to gain an increased friendship and his wife Ismael. That was a partnership that began from information received by our friend Alfredo Gonzalez Diez - Rage 1's fury cape at Reg 262 (4th) Alfredo told us that Colonel Garcia Robeu and his wife (in second nuptias many years ago) had been spending their time at Benidorm, Ciudad Patricia where IsFAS has a retirement residence for military personnel 65 or older.
And an afternoon, about five years ago. Manolo Sánchez Lozano and I went to Benidorm with Colonel Garcia-Robeu, his wife's tirolaipi. (Dias had earlier come up for him in the name of our Brotherhood Marian Ferrer who by that atoning was at bendor) And with marriage we spent more than two hours, time that became very short for as though Garcia Robeu could not communicate orally well because of a surgical intervention at his throat.We did understand ourselves thanks to her wife Aurora who acted and said she was an interpreter. Also with pencil and paper write, thus expressing his thought. And we have been talking about Russia's campaign, especially as I did.
Aurora, she listened with pleasure and I think a little awesomized as her husband was so at ease about that pair of newly known Guripes who were reminding him how they had been leading them to have happened for many years but more than fifty or nothing! And let's not say how happy the Guripas were, for they had found an outstanding man with a very good character and his best care. He was quite human but "talking about them to their marriage after all
And I told how she had met him at the front of Leningrad, while with a day from Wojskorowo - where was his command and an observatory on June 14 2012 to two "mortadelas' that have come into her company or Captain's office. Luke del Yerro put them up for anti-tank piece 3 by 7 .situated in upper Krasnyj BOr I lost myself to those "andurrial 'at the front, just as it was true and have been going through trenches from one place for a while. We found ourselves with an officer who asked us where we went after them once they had come out of their way He told us if we knew who he was, "No. My lieutenant! I responded to him and that for his knowledge with a clear voice... That's how I saw, for the first and only time at his front with Tirolaipi that this name was known as Lieutenant Garcia-Romeo. He became most famous figure from The Blue Division while one of them had been best mentioned in an extensive literature dedicated to Reg Izo Section or Legion
That's how I stick with the works of Fernando Vadillo, his great divisionary writer and they have numerous performances by Lieutenant GarciaRobeu. To put as an example what his book "Final Balada of the Blue Division - The Legionaries, and its pages describe legion participation with partisan guerrillas say:.... They are united by Captain Bermudez of Castro, who goes to command his 4th city and with them the lieutenants [continues back]
Page 12
(...) and Garcia Robeu, alias Trolaipi with number one high-end pounding champion at an enemy ground as she sent the 32nd Bon. assault Section of 262 in his Blue Division "
And a little later, in his account he tells them that "(...) The next day it was about time! they come back to Jamenburg. [] Germans have been organizing an Inmaculada Festivity Day 8 with their honor and dance performance as well at the same date while amidst our garden there's something miraculous going on today Lt. GarciaRomeo sits down and, who was to suspect him! He finds his hidden musical skills offering a concert that leaves officers with an astonishment of legionaries as far up at least how can you...? Sure. "
Trolaipi had eight war injuries in his body. The last was made in Estonia, after the Legion had already begun its retirement from his front forced by allied pressures and were regrouping into several Estonian peoples for their repatriation. The Vadillo tells them and from him we copy: "(...) you have to maintain high discipline or morality [..] Rerecognition patrols should be with care throughout the forest. Stones and Soviet (...) guerrilla parties are stalking the passage of legionaries. They have been met by surprise and, in one of the scarves they've had his skin pierced with Lieutenant Garcia-Romeo's famous Tirolaipi as he was attracted to a few shots into Janeda forest. "
And this was Trolaipi. That's how his provi. lieutenant Garcia-Robeu went to Russia at the first expedition that came out of North Reg, in Madrid on 13 July 1941 and returned back into Spain with their last repatriated train (10 May 1944) while they were carrying injuries from Division or Legion / Blue Squadron
After that first visit I made with Moloo, we have been to marriage several times. Garcia- Romeo and his wife have been to the capital of Alicante several times, two at our place with some members from The Brotherhood. And I have seen them at Benidorm and his house in Madrid, while for several reasons we've been to the capital of Spain.
Aurora, with Ismael's death I presume that you have lost half your life. And that this may delay the complete recovery of your serious surgical intervention, which you had last year. I wish you heart and strength to move forward.
I come with you in your pain and ask that my condo - leniency be extended to the children of Ismael, who love them as they have been supported by their numerous grandchildren.
Farewell, Colonel Garcia- Romeo. Farewell, Lieutenant Tirolaipi. Farewell, my good friend Ismael.
Thanks, Ismael and thank you as well Aurora. Thank both of them so much Many thanks to that dear marriage, for his distinction with your esteem and friendship.
