apr 26, 1937 - Nazi Bombings
Description:
The Republican-held city of Guernica is bombed by planes of the Luftwaffe’s Condor Legion. Hundreds of civilians are killed in an attack that would demonstrate the effectiveness of terror bombing to Hermann Göring and other Nazi commanders. The almost complete destruction of the Basque city inspires Pablo Picasso’s painting Guernica (1937).
