PHILATELY OF THE SPANISH CIVIL WAR
In 1937, in one of the most dramatic and tragic days of the Civil War, German planes bombed the Spanish city of Guernica, in support of the attacking rebels.
This event was the insperation for one of the great works of 20th Century art; Guernica by the Spanish Painter Picasso.
Legend has it that Picasso was asked by a German soldier, upon seeing the painting, "Did you do this?" to which he replied "No, you did!".
Just as the Facists used Communism as justification for their existance, the Communists used Facism to justify their cause. In keeping with this pattern, Guernica, the work of art, became a popular work of propaganda on Eastern Block postage stamps.
