Historical Background

During World War II, the Spanish Blue Division (División Española de Voluntarios), officially designated as the 250th Infantry Division of the Wehrmacht, was a unit of Spanish volunteers who fought alongside the German military on the Eastern Front.

• Medical Volunteers: Alongside the combat troops, up to 150 Spanish women volunteered to serve as military nurses (enfermeras) under the Military Medical Corps (Sanidad Militar).

• Background and Recruitment: Many of these female volunteers were highly experienced veteran nurses who had previously served during the Spanish Civil War.

• Service on the Front: Wearing distinct military uniforms that included khaki tunics, they were deployed to rear-guard military hospitals in cities such as Riga, Vilnius, Königsberg, and Berlin. Here, they provided critical, life-saving medical care to severely wounded and sick soldiers returning from the harsh combat zones.

• Legacy: These nurses were widely praised and highly respected by the soldiers for their altruism, warmth, and unwavering dedication under grueling wartime conditions.
