President Frank-Walter Steinmeier pays tribute to Nazi war victims in Guernica, the first German leader to visit the Spanish town where hundreds of civilians were killed in 1937.
Steinmeier joins King Felipe VI at a remembrance ceremony in the northern Basque town, which Nazi Germany’s elite Condor Legion razed in support of General Francisco Franco’s rebels during the Spanish Civil War, AFP journalists report.
