Condor Legion . Elstob, Peter. Ballantine's Illustrated History of World War II: Weapons Book Number 35. NY: Ballantine Books, Inc., 1973. Softcover, 160 pages, photos. Germany's contribution to Franco's war against the Republicans. An autonomous unit responsible only to Franco, the Legion participated in all the major engagements of the war -- including Brunete, Teruel, Aragon and Ebro -- but possibly its best remembered participation was the carpet bombing of the market town of Guernica, immortalized by Picasso. It was in Spain that the Germans developed many of their aerial tactics that led to the early victories in Europe.
