Your history of the Blue Division is right on the money, and very accurate as to how it later was broken down into smaller parts. They were volunteers even to the right of Franco, many of them cadets. The Wehrmacht sent them first to the Leningrad front where they excelled in courage and Soviets troops knew right away when they faced the Blue Division because of their dogged resistance. And yes, they were not SS.
SS Charlemagne, Franzosen, Frog volunteers. SS Wallonia, Belgian.
Your quote of the 80,000 or so sacrifices by Mexican emperor before Montezuma, I remember I found in Salvador de Madariaga’s Cortez biography. The prisoner were killed and then eaten by their captors. Rivers of blood and fat formed in the city.
