Ancient War Methods Used by Spaniards
An Associated Press report by Robert B. Parker argues that Franco and the rebels rely on old warfare in the Spanish conflict. It notes antiquated artillery from Oviedo dating to 1905, shells over 30 years old, and limited use of modern arms, with terrain and logistics shaping battles more than new tech. It mentions Iran and San Sebastian, trench issues, and barbed wire deployment, highlighting poor marksmen and treacherous logistics.
