From Chapter 22 of March of the Titans. Displaying the inconsistency of a wannabe historian, Arthur Kemp asserts that Franco was "allegedly part Jewish." He then claims that Franco was in fact part Jewish.
FRANCO USES MOORISH TROOPS
The Second Republic was however short lived. A military revolt in 1936 developed into a full scale civil war between supporters of the Republic - mostly Communists - and Spanish Nationalists.
[Left: General Francisco Franco, victor in the Spanish Civil War, albeit with significant German and Italian help. Although widely dismissed as a Fascist or a Nazi, he was in fact neither, merely an old style autocrat. Allegedly part Jewish, he refused to join Hitler during the Second World War, and was not averse to using non-White troops if it suited him. His invasion of Spain, which started the Spanish Civil War, was launched from North Africa using Arab troops under his command. It was merely the anti-Communism of his political position and the possibility of a military exercise which persuaded Hitler and Mussolini to lend his forces assistance.]
The Communists received material aid from the Communist International and from the Soviet Union. In turn the nationalists received material aid from the leading anti-Communist powers of the time, Fascist Italy under Benito Mussolini and Nazi Germany under Adolf Hitler.
Finally, as a direct result of German military intervention in the Spanish Civil War, the Nationalists under General Francisco Franco overwhelmed the Communists. Due to the assistance given to Franco by Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy, Franco has long been classed as a fascist.
In fact he was neither a fascist or a Nazi. Part Jewish, Franco had initiated his attack on the Communist republic from across the Straits of Gibraltar with an army composed initially of Black Spanish soldiers, an indication of not only the racially integrated nature of Spanish society, but also of Franco's antipathy towards any racial politics.
[...]
For these reasons Franco refused to enter the Second World War on Hitler's side, as was widely expected, thereby keeping the Straits of Gibraltar open for the Allies, a move that was to prove crucial in the conduct of the war.
After the Second World War many countries associated Spain with the Nazis, and the Franco government went into a period of isolation. However, the growth of the conflict between the Soviet Union and the capitalist West under the leadership of the United States (called the Cold War because it never broke out into a shooting or "hot" war), Spain became regarded as an ally against Communism, and by 1955 the country's isolation had been broken and Spain was finally admitted to the United Nations.
