The Medalla de la Campaña de Rusia (Medal of the Russian Campaign), commissioned 9 November 1943, was awarded by Nationalist Spain to those Spanish volunteers who served at the Russian front during World War II, as members of the Blue Division. This force, attached to the Heer of the Wehrmacht, known as the 250th Infantry Division, was sent by Francisco Franco to aid the Third Reich, as a way to pay back Adolf Hitler’s help during the Spanish Civil War.
