The Spanish Republicans may have lost the civil war but they and their Communist cohorts have won the propaganda war which still goes on today with British sources like the TV program mentioned above repeating this lie.

How about you study the FACTS instead of spouting your selective right-wing propaganda view? Go read properly about the raid on Guernica and its aftermath.
