Bär Program and Galician Tungsten

[Brigal]

Dear All

During WWII there was an important development of German mines on Spanish territory, specially in Galicia with Tungsten. In exchange for Tungsten, Germany gives Spain new military equipment, so I think, if the developers finds appropriate that one national focus of Nationalist Spain and Germany can be Spanish Tungsten in exchange for German weapons.

I hope you find this information useful.

In some mods, this is already done. Germany obtains the right to resources in some Spanish provinces, which become their holding companies, which with some other focus they can also strengthen

Looks really unimportant to me until 1944.

Not really: the military industry needs those additives to work best. More resistant armor, more penetrating bullets, better explosives, more efficient engines ... the links say that starting from 41/42 they had an effect and Germany, had production problems, precisely due to lack of additives from after 44 (when the blocked imports from Spain)
