Berlin, July 4.
The part played in a modern war by pursuit planes is the main lesson which the German High Command has been able to draw from the operations carried on in Spain, according to an article appearing today in the "Deutschewehr" technical Organ specializing in military questions.
"Attacks carried out by planes flying at a low altitude or using diving' tactics have proved extremely effective against troops in the field and even against fortified infantry positions" the "Deutschewehr" declares." The results achieved have been particularly strong when the troops attacked were weary or were retreating following a defeat."
The paper further notes that no exact indication can be drawn from the Spanish warfare about the relative value of planes belonging to such or such European *nation, despite the/fact that all the machines fighting in Spain came from abroad.
No indication whatever can be gathered particularly on different tactics and fighting methods.
Furthermore, the "Deutschewehr" declares, pilots in Spain did not use poison gas, which fact left conditions rather different from what modern warfare might present.—Havas.
