Issue Date: | 2016 | Journal: | War in History | Abstract: | The goal of this article is to study one of the lesser known questions of the Spanish approach to the Axis during the Second World War: German assistance in the defence of the Canary Islands against an Allied attack. To accomplish this objective, a German officer's visit to these islands to improve their defence after the Anglo-Canadian landing at Dieppe is analysed. The visit proves the maintenance of Spanish-German collaboration at the end of 1942. The report submitted by the officer influenced the reorganization of the defence of the islands in 1943. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10553/42128 | ISSN: | 0968-3445 | DOI: | 10.1177/0968344515588143 | Source: | War in History[ISSN 0968-3445],v. 23, p. 362-381 |
