Later Career
After the war he occupied various posts including President of the Supreme Council of Military Justice, Commander of the VII Military Region and Head of the House Military of France before finishing his career as Chief of Central General Staff. He published his memoirs in 1958: "Blue Division: Spanish Volunteers in the Eastern Front." He reaffirmed how proud he was to have participated in the Russian campaign and said that it served to counter the poor history of foreign Spanish military campaigns during the 19th century. His motto was: "Fighting is our glory! Our thought: Spain."
He died at home in Gijón on September 6, 1962, aged 70, after a long illness.
