Here is the story - with all its intrigue and secret liaisons - of how General Francisco Franco denied to Adolf Hitler the strategy that would have won World War II for the fuhrer. And, while refusing Hitler's demands, Franco literally saved the lives of more than forty thousand Jews, giving them refuge from the Nazis, despite enormous risk to himself and Spain. When asked by his Foreign Minister, "What will Hitler think if we do this? Franco replied, "What will God think if we don't?" A swastika over the White House? Yes! And Buckingham Palace, the Eiffel Tower, and the world. How come we are not all speaking German today and pledging allegiance to the swastika? It almost happened.
