Flat manifolds with holonomy group Z₂^k of diagonal type

We consider relations between two families of flat manifolds with holonomy group (Z_2)^k of diagonal type. The family ${\cal RBM}$ of real Bott manifolds and the family ${\cal GHW}$ of generalized Hantzsche-Wendt manifolds. In particular, we prove that the intersection ${\cal GHW}\cap {\cal RBM}$ is not empty. We also consider some class of real Bott manifolds without $\operatorname{Spin}$ and $\operatorname{Spin}^{\C}$ structure. There are given conditions for the (non)existence of such structures.
