What did the basques against the germans?
Absolutely nothing!
It was only a test for The Luftwaffe

That is unfortunate that that happened. I look down on any killing of innocents of our race. Though, I think the article you posted is entirely one sided and anti-german. It calls us, germans, "Barbarians". That is not very objective. One must go back to the one who gave the orders, was it Franco's Spain which wanted the Basques to be passive to the government? Or was it a Luftwaffe commander in the Theatre? I find it unlikely that Hitler would order the attack on innocent Basques simply to test his aircraft. Someone must've suggested it along the chain of command, I tend to think it came from the Spainish, what did Germans care or know of Basques? I seems more politically motivated. Guernica had somewhere over 1000 killed, however for Dresden it is counted between 25,000 and 40,000 people incenerated, depending on which source one uses.
