The Bombing of Guernica

[Jukka Juutinen]

Icare, if you believe of thousands of dead in Guernica, then you have taken Communist propaganda at face value. The true number is about 120, 20 of which could be identified. And even those were not tragets as the target was a crossing west of Guernica, but poor navigation in poor weather led to missing the real target. One leading charlatan was the bolshie Pablo Picasso who simply added some details to an existing panting of his and then advertized this as Guernica.

By the way, when there were attempts after WW1 to ban aerial bombing of civilian targets, the number one opponent was Britain whose leaders saw air power as a cheap way to police the empire by e.g. bombing villages of "savages" to keep then in "proper" leash.
