"Guernica" - Pablo Picasso
Hitler used Guernica as a training ground of saturated bombing tactics.
George Steer recounts the attack, "Guernica was completely destroyed yesterday afternoon by insurgent air raiders. The object of the bombardment was seemingly the demoralization of the civil population...The rhythm of this bombing was a logical one: first, hand grenades and heavy bombs to stampede the population, then machine-gunning to drive them below, next heavy and incendiary bombs to wreck the houses and burn them on top of their victims."
- George Steer's news account of the bombing that inspired Picasso's "Guernica".
