Casualties : Several hundred civilians killed.
Of course Guernica wasn't a strategic objective.
Von Richtofen recognized later he was doing " a bit too much" at that occasion.
World discovered bloody effects of "strategic bombing" for civilians , and unfortunatly other raids will follow : Coventry , Rotterdam, Warsaw, Dresden, Tokyo for the bloodiest.
As Curtiss LeMay said , after war , and thinking of Tokyo Bombardement of March 1945 " Should we have lost the war , I would have been judged as a war criminal ".
Of course he wasn't.....Vae Victis !!
