Abstract
There wasn’t any European country which was able to stay completely out of war events during WW2. Officially neutral (i.e. non-belligerent), Spain was battlefield of the belligerent countries’ intelligence services. German submarines were clandestinely supplied in Spanish harbours, sky over Spain was overcrowded with radio signals, which the other side (all sides) tried to intercept and to decrypt. Spain in WW2 is an excellent example how one neutral country is not oasis of peace in global conflict but stage of, invisible to ordinary observer underground war of the belligerents.
