Description: This very scarce poster was printed in Spain on the back of a sheet of food ration currency. It commemorates the participation of the Blue Division (Spanish or Falangist Legion) in Germany's 269th Infantry Division during its invasion of Russia. Each ration coupon has a border with tiny perforations which lends a 3-D element to the military artwork. Fantastic WW2 collectible!!The 269th Infantry Division was a major fighting formation of the German Army (Wehrmacht). It was created in August 1939, and first saw combat in the Battle of France, and was then posted to occupation duties in Denmark. In the summer of 1941 the division advanced towards Leningrad in operation Barbarossa as part of Army Group North. Following the final drive on the city and the subsequent siege, the division spent the winter and the next summer in defensive action along the Volkov river front, combating repeated Soviet attempts to restore land communications to LeningradColumn from Infantry Regiment In December 1942 the division was transferred to Norway, where it remained for the next two years. The division returned to action in November 1944, firstly in the west against the US forces and finally as a Battlegroup (Kampfgruppe) back in the east where the remains of the division finally surrendered to the Soviet forces in May 1945 at the end of the war.
