[edit] Division 250

This was at "Division 250":

Division 250 or also called the Blue Division, was a "Volunteer" spanish military unit that fought for Germany in World War two, mostly in the Russian front. Known as the blue division for the use of blue falangist uniforms.

Why should this division article not be titled like the other Wehrmacht divisions with its number? After all, other divisions in Wehrmacht had unofficial names, but none are listed as such.--mrg3105 (comms) ♠♥♦♣ 23:10, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

WP:NC(CN). Person who is searching information on division is most likely going to use term "Blue division" not "250th Infantry division (German)".--Staberinde (talk) 10:32, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Also

Also the name of a spanish nationalist Oi! rock music band from Valencia.

[edit] Influence of the Blue Division in later Spanish Army history

This whole section seems pretty much opinion-only, it probably should be rewritten or removed entirely by someone with more knowledge.

Also, any sources to the statement that Luis Garcia Berlanga went to the Blue Division "in order to help their relatives in Franco's prisons"? Other than himself saying this in interviews, of course. Looks suspiciously like revisionism. Jope 14:01, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
