Nationalist artillery, most likely Condor Legion soldiers, firing against Republican resistance, probably near Amposta (Catalonia) during the last steps of the Battle of the Ebre, Spanish Civil War, Autumn 1938. Little is known of this picture, but I’ve guessed they are German soldiers because of the European hairstyle and close-ups in other pictures. About the location, it is absolutely unknown, but it was released in an album which in context seems to point to the Ebre. People tend to misbelieve the Condor Legion was just an air unit made up from Luftwaffe soldiers. It wasn’t. It was divided in three distinguishable branches: the air one, infamously known for the bombings of cities like Guernica, the Panzer Corps, which provided the first use of Nazi Panzers in history, and the infantry/artillery deployments, with 6,500 soldiers.
