Chapter 8:
Two months after the Guernica bombing. A series of unexpected accidents occurred while participating in the Basque offensive.
The first was the explosion of the Hindenburg, Germany's prized giant passenger airship, in America.
I had a vague idea it would happen.
I just didn't know the exact date, and since it wasn't a very impactful event for the Korean Yoon Sung-il, I hadn't thought of it.
The Hindenburg was the culmination of the Germans' love for airships, dating back to World War I, and a symbol of this era in Germany, actively used by Nazi Germany for promoting the 1936 Berlin Olympics.
It seemed to be causing a stir in Germany, with talk of a Jewish conspiracy, and above all, the members of the Condor Legion appeared quite shocked by the accident where Germany's prized luxury airship burned and many people died.
Once World War II breaks out, a series of disasters will occur that will make such an accident seem trivial, but for now, no one knows that.
And so I missed a disaster I might have been able to prevent if I had just remembered it.
Second, General Emilio Mola of the Nationalist faction, the commander-in-chief of the northern front and leader of the current Basque campaign, died.
