Abstract

This article addresses how the German Navy participated in the evacuation of thousands of foreigners seeking to leave Spain once the civil war began. Based on the German primary sources, the deployment of the German naval forces will be analyzed, to try to understand their modus operandi, putting it in context by comparing their activities with the evacuations carried out by other navies that operated in this same space. This will show how during its operations, the German Navy favored the rebel forces, both for its evacuation policy as for the parallel activities the it carried out during the first months of the war.
