Ramón Serrano Suñer

Serrano Suñer during a visit to the headquarters of the [[1st SS Panzer Division Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler|LSSAH]] in [[Lichterfelde (Berlin)|Berlin-Lichterfelde]], September 1940. Ramón Serrano Suñer (12 September 1901 – 1 September 2003), was a Spanish politician during the first stages of the Francoist dictatorship, between 1938 and 1942, when he held the posts of President of the FET y de las JONS caucus (1936), and then Interior Minister and Foreign Affairs Minister. A neofalangist originally from the CEDA, Serrano Suñer came to embody the most totalitarian impetus within the regime. Serrano Suñer was known for his pro-Third Reich stance during World War II, when he supported the sending of the Blue Division to fight along with the Wehrmacht on the Russian front. He was also the brother-in-law of Francisco Franco's wife Carmen Polo, for which he was informally nicknamed ''Cuñadísimo'' or the "most brother-in-law" (in comparison, the dictator himself was styled as ''generalísimo'').

Serrano Suñer was the founder of the 67,000-strong Spanish blind people's organization ONCE on 13 December 1938, as well as of the EFE press-agency, in 1939. Serrano Suñer also founded the Radio Intercontinental radio network in 1950. Provided by Wikipedia
