...Civil War started, Latin American embassies in Spain gave refuge to and probably saved the skins of thousands of Generalissimo Francisco Franco's sympathizers. Moreover, the Latin Americans always demanded (and most of the time got) safe conduct for their refugees to the border.

Every German woman was urged to go out on the land, help gather in the crops. It was estimated that at least 500,000 women of 60 years or more are doing farm labor in the Reich. Members of the Hitler Youth movement were commanded...
