In Hitler's "work car" of his private railroad train during their meeting at Hendaye, the French town
that borders Spain in the Pyrenees. Hitler cajoled and threatened but unlike all other Chiefs of State
and Foreign Ministers whom he had cowed with his fury, General Franco who had ridden into enemy gunfire
a hundred times in battle in Morocco, was unperturbed and unmoved. After the meeting Hitler groaned,
"Before I would meet again with that man I would have four teeth extracted. Without gas."

Why would American President Eisenhower visit Franco in Madrid and
hug him in friendship? Because when Ike was Supreme Commander of Allied Forces in Europe
he had first hand proof that Franco and Spain were not friends of Hitler, but of the
Allies. This is described in detail in Hitler Stopped By Franco.
