00:00In autumn 1940, Hitler conceived Operation Felix, a strike through Spain to seize Gibraltar and choke Britain's Mediterranean lifeline.

00:10Fluent in Spanish and respected by Spanish dictator Francisco Franco, Canaris was ordered to win Spanish support in the war.

00:18Instead, he wrote a detailed memo arguing why Operation Felix would fail, and quietly advised Franco that Hitler lacked forces to occupy Spain.

00:27When Hitler met Franco at the French town of Uday on the 23rd of October 1940, the Spanish leader refused to give passage to German units.

00:38Hitler later told the Italian dictator Benito Mussolini that he would rather have three teeth pulled than meet Franco again.
