I am spanish and I know the details better than you I presume. Guernica was in many ways something both the british and republicans made stand out for propaganda. There have been far worse things in the spanish civil wars. For example Cabra was bombed in a day of market with the intention of killing and without being any kind of strategic strategic objective, way further than Guernica from other objectives and with more dead civilians actually. It is just less well known bc of who did it. | ||

>with the intention of killing and without being any kind of strategic strategic objective Wikipedia says "The airstrike was carried out in the mistaken belief that Italian mechanized troops were stationed in the village. Once over the target, the pilots mistook the market's awnings for military tents." (Carlos Saiz Cidoncha, 2006) | ||
