Francoist Spanish Army Uniform Set

At the end of the Civil War, the Francoist (Nationalist) Army counted 1,020,500 men, in 60 divisions. During the first year of peace, Franco dramatically reduced the size of the Spanish Army to 250,000 in early 1940, with most soldiers two-year conscripts. In October 1940, the Army had sixteen line infantry divisions; three mountain divisions; one cavalry division; and five divisions in Spanish Morocco (IX Army Corps and X Army Corps), for a total of twenty-five. Other units included, in addition to those of the army corps in each captaincy: four tank regiments; field artillery, coastal and anti-aircraft regiments; regiments of different engineering specialties; the garrisons of the Canary Islands, the Balearic Islands, Ceuta and Melilla, Ifni-Sahara, and the naval bases; and more than one hundred workers' battalions.
