Spanish Legion Condor Merit Medal

The "Spanish Legion Condor Merit Medal" was a military decoration awarded by Nazi Germany to members of the German Condor Legion who served during the Spanish Civil War. The Condor Legion was a unit of the German Luftwaffe (air force) that supported General Francisco Franco's Nationalist forces in their fight against the Republican side in the Spanish Civil War from 1936 to 1939.

The medal was created to recognize and honor the service and bravery of German military personnel who participated in this conflict. It was not a Spanish decoration but rather a German one. The Spanish Civil War was a complex and contentious conflict, with various foreign powers involved on both sides, and the German Condor Legion's involvement was just one aspect of the larger international dynamics of the war.
