Spanish 'Blue-Division' Commemorative Medal

The Blue Division Commemorative Medal, or "Medalla Conmemorativa de la División Azul" in Spanish, was a military decoration established by Francisco Franco's regime in Spain to honor the Spanish volunteers who served on the Eastern Front as part of the "División Azul" or Blue Division during World War II.

The Blue Division was a unit of Spanish volunteers that fought alongside the German Army on the Eastern Front against the Soviet Union. It was officially known as the "División Española de Voluntarios" (Spanish Volunteer Division) and was sent to the Eastern Front from 1941 to 1943.

The commemorative medal was created in 1943 to recognize the service and sacrifice of the members of the Blue Division. The design of the medal typically features the emblem of the Blue Division, which included the Spanish national colors and the emblem of Saint Andrew's Cross. The reverse side often includes inscriptions related to the division's service on the Eastern Front.
