Luftwaffe Testing Its Destructive Power Over a Spanish Town
The vicious attack on the Basque town of Guernica heralded the dawn of a new era in warfare, one in which the annihilation of innocence and humanity would become a common theme.
The residents vividly recall the town engulfed in a bright day-like light even as the sun sank over the horizon. High above, the German pilots of the feared Condor Legion adorned the heavens with fiery streaks, raining destruction upon the vulnerable settlement below.
Caught in a nightmarish vortex of fire and despair, the civilians on the ground experienced the most harrowing moments of their lives. Meanwhile, their tormentors capitalized on the opportunity to refine the techniques that would eventually transform the Luftwaffe into an unstoppable force.
The Bombing of Guernica transcended its role as a mere harbinger of World War 2; it served as the crucible in which the world’s most ruthless and formidable air force was forged.
