Yes, The Condor Legion was a German unit, consisting volunteers from the German Luftwaffe, that participated in all major batles of the Spanish Civil War. Their most infamous act was the terror bombing of Guernica on 26 April 1937, during which 1,654 civilians died and 889 were wounded according to Basque government records*. More than 19,000 members of the German Luftwaffe gained experience during the Spanish Civil War, which gave them an invaluable advantage at the start of the Second World War.

* More recent studies put the number of dead at 250-300. See Jesus Larrazabal's Guernica, 1990 and El Bombardeo de Guernica, El Mundo, volume 12, October 2005.
