Infantry on the national side. Spanish Civil War. 1/72 (metal) Minairons-20GEF006

The infantry of the national side in the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) was one of the fundamental components of its armed forces.
It was made up of soldiers from diverse backgrounds: regular army units, volunteers and Falangist and Carlist militias.
Throughout the conflict, it was professionalized and structured thanks to the logistical and military support of Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy, which provided armament, equipment and training to the troops.
The main armament of the national infantry included rifles such as the Mauser Model 1893, light and heavy machine guns, and mortars.
In addition, war tactics evolved, adopting modern strategies of attack and defense, supported by aviation and artillery.
The infantry of the national side was decisive in key battles such as Madrid, the Ebro and Teruel, playing a crucial role in Franco’s final victory and the establishment of his dictatorship.
