"Remembering the fascist destruction of Guernica
On this day in 1937, a Monday market morning in the Basque town of Guernica ended in fire and rubble.
Ten thousand people, locals, refugees, and peasants, had gathered in the town centre when, by late afternoon, the Nazi Condor Legion and Fascist Italian Legionary Air Force descended, dropping over 31 tonnes of munitions for more than three hours. The bombing reduced 85 per cent of the buildings to ruins.
They had joined the Spanish Civil War on the side of the Spanish army, led by General Franco, which had set out to overthrow the democratically-elected republic.
Any military justification was threadbare from the start. When the bombing ended, the Rentería Bridge, the town’s main strategic access route, remained untouched. This was terror as policy."
