| There were plans to do this but Hitler needed the full support of Franco to move his army into Spain. Negotiations did take place between Hitler and Franco in Biarritz after the fall of France but the negotiations got bogged down because Franco demanded far more than Hitler could deliver. Franco was not yet really secure in power and Spain was pretty devastated after three years of fighting, hence Franco's demands. After this meeting Hitler remarked that he'd much rather have his teeth removed without anaesthetic than spend more time negotiating with Franco.
