The Spanish Civil War
The Condor Air Legion
When the Spanish Civil War broke out in 1936, Hitler seized the chance to support the fascist Falange Party, while testing and seasoning his freshly conscripted soldiers. The Condor Air Legion tested his newly designed planes while flying missions for the Spanish. At Guernica they accidently bombed a civilian town, giving the world its first taste of modern warfare after the devastation of World War I.
