About this product
Product Information
"...offers important insight into the employment of tanks during the war, lessons learned (or not learned) by the participating armed forces..." -- Globe at War Although Spain had been for many years on the periphery of the great affairs of Europe, within a few months of the Civil War breaking out in 1936, three out of the four major European powers--Italy, Germany, and the Soviet Union--decided to intervene. Spain turned out to be the perfect proving ground to carry out controlled, realistic experiments with live weapons and troops. This book covers the theories of the three main contributors that provided armor to the warring parties in the civil war, how those contributions shaped combat, and how the lessons learned were then applied to tank combat in World War II.The use of tanks in the Spanish Civil War wedded traditional war to modern technology. The fighting in Spain did not offer any easy answers, however, to the question of infantry-armor cooperation, primarily because the tanks supplied were not very worthy and had been supplied in small numbers, even though the Republicans organized an 'armored division.' The situation for the tanks on the Nationalist side was so bad in practical terms that they reused captured Russian armor in their units. Tank employment in Spain did offer many lessons, but the lessons did not always lie in what was done or accomplished but precisely on what was not done and was not accomplished.

Reviews
...an interesting and well-rounded account of the beginnings of tank-on-tank warfare. Definitely recommended., ...Candil offers an important contribution, both narrative and analytical, to this instructive topic. In particular, it is useful to consider how far the particular conflicts of an 'interwar' period assume not only a disproportionate but also a misleading significance., ...belongs on the bookshelf of anyone interested in the military history of the Spanish Civil War or armored warfare more generally., ...a worthwhile investment for any wargamer with an interest in the period and might cause some to rethink their assumptions on armour and its use., Making use of resources in Spanish and Italian hitherto largely overlooked by writers on the subject, defense analyst Candil, a former Spanish armor officer, has produced the first book-length treatment of the role of armor in the Spanish Civil War. He gives us both an excellent look at how tanks were used, and a fairly even-handed treatment of the war itself., ...recounts in considerable detail how Germany, Italy and Soviet Russia intervened in Spain, supplying troops and equipment to the warring sides., The strength of Tank Combat in Spain is the military, tactical, and technical detail that the author provides., Many theories on modern armored combat had their origin in the Spanish Civil War...This knowledge would soon be used to great effect in World War II., ...offers important insight into the employment of tanks during the war, lessons learned (or not learned) by the participating armed forces..., It is even more interesting to read and learn about tanks during the Spanish Civil War from an author who was a Senior Armor Officer in the Spanish Army. This is a valuable book not only for modellers, but for history fans who want to know more about this conflict.
