Digital History Seminar: 20th Century Spain

Organization of the Legion

This part of the exhibit looks at the organization of the Legion Condor. It shows digital photos of the planes and discusses the role that each plane played in the Legion Condor and how that changed during the Spanish Civil War.
 
The Condor Legion, upon establishment, consisted of the Kampfgruppe 88, with three squadrons of Ju 52 bombers, the Jagdgruppe 88 with three squadrons of Heinkel He 51 fighters, the reconnaissance Aufklärungsgruppe 88 (supplemented by the Aufklärungsgruppe See 88), an anti-aircraft group, the Flakbteilung 88, and a signals group, the Nachrichtenabteilung 88. Overall command was given to Hugo Sperrle, with Alexander Holle as chief of staff. Scheele was transferred to become a military attaché in Salamanca.
