Meeting at Hendaye

Meeting at Hendaye

The Meeting of Hendaye, or interview of Hendaye took place between Francisco Franco and Adolf Hitler (at the time, Caudillo of Spain and Führer of Germany respectively).

It occurred on October 23, 1940 in the local train station of Hendaye, near the Spanish-French border, attended by the Foreign Affairs ministers, Ramón Serrano Súñer of Spain and Joachim von Ribbentrop of Nazi Germany.

The meeting marked the refusal of Spain to join the Axis powers in their war against Britain, due to Hitler's lack of support for Franco's colonial claim to French Moroccan territory. At this time, Hitler did not wish to disturb his relations with the sympathetic Vichy French regime.
