I thought I would help out NeuralDream on some units. All I know is that the JU-52 was used, as was a German Biplane... He-something.... but I am first looking for the ground vehicles.... Tyree67 I'll start working on that tonight after work see what I can find. Tyree67 http://www.zi.ku.dk/personal/drnash/model/spain/index.html for planes try the one above Field Marshal PF Panzer Is I believe saw action with Franco's forces. Tyree67 All I could find was Hitler didn't want to commmit panzer III and IV. He was holding them back So I guess panzer I and II was about it. Russians commited some T-26 and I think another kind of out dated tank. togo From what I could find the Panzer I was the only tank used by the Germans.  the Nationalists took some and modified the turrent to hold a 20mm cannon, but the Condor Legion did not like it and changed them back. NeuralDream I'll start doing the spanish civil war this sunday. I'd greatly appreciate some more help, such as a list of units that were widely used, plus a couple less common ones. I know pretty much all about the aircraft that were used, but for the ground units I don't even know what machine guns were common. Plz differentiate between German, Russian, Spanish Rep. and Spanish Nat. Also, were there any naval engagements? Should I do any WAS cards too? NeuralDream I started a lit earlier. I'd like your feedback for the first Nationalist units: RAEVSKI more german ground stuff Pz 1 command tank was used. Flame thrower conversions 37mm atg 88 flak 105 field gun 75mm inf gun Italian, 47 atg cv33 + flame version black shirt inf reg inf (volunteers?!) RAEVSKI Russian armour The tanks that went to spain were T26 (most common) bt5 ba 10 a/c + 45 atg and russian 37 atg these weapons only turned up in commmunist formations The anarchists were hated by communists so they didn't like to share. Anarchists go mostly french \brit supplies smuggled across border. mostly MGs and rifles. Anarchists made there own tanks out of lorries with welded plates and any weapon they could find. RAEVSKI machine guns MGs used st Ettienne (frence)-rep/nat breda -nat lewis gun international brig maxim -communist mg34 -nat NeuralDream Raevski, can you also provide some of the photos that can accompany these cards? It's proving very difficult for me to find say a Nationalist MG34 photo, and the same for most units. RAEVSKI You ask and I'll find, just name it. I'll start with mg34 be back soon.
