Thanks for clearing it up. And yes Hitler and Mussolini even had disputes as while Hitler didn't exactly see Mediterrannean peoples such as Italians, Greeks and Spanish to be "untermensch" but he did see them as being inferior to Germanic/Nordic peoples so likely, this would've also been disputes between Franco and Hitler. This is why I find it funny when Neo-Nazis/Neo-Fascists try to make themselves look "Pan-European" considering how Fascists always saw their race as superior and other races in Europle to be "inferior". It's esepcially funny when Slavic or Baltic Neo-Nazis/Neo-Fascists try to do it considering how the Nazis views the Slavs as untermensch and had plans to exterminate, deport or enslave the Polish, the East Slavs(Russians, Ukranians and Belarussians) and even the Baltics in order to make way for Lebensraum. This plan was known as Generalplan Ost. Nonetheless, during the invasion of the Soviet Union, the Nazis tried to make their ideolgoy look like a Pan-Europeanist one and make it look like a fight between "Christian Europen values vs Judeo-Bolshevism".

Now obviously, I do see the Second Spanish Republic as it was a lot less Authoritarian than Franco's reign. I have heard about Anti-Clericalism that happened but however most of the Anti-Clerical acts were committed by Communist and Anarchist militias(That the Republic did eventually fight along side with but they didn't have a choice. It was more or less a "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" since both the Spanish Republic and the Far Left militias were opposed to Fascism and Nationalism). The Spanish Republic just attempted to reduce the power of the Catholic Church. This video might help(Granted, I don't agree with everything this guy says in his videos since I'm not an Anarchist but he still makes good points): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgqoXU83v4g
