It was interesting to meet this pre-series of 1936 (Jérémie Hersant collection) and this series of 1937 (Stéphane Arquille collection) manufactured by Schwelmer Eisenwerk Müller u. Co. to analyze the developments related to the life-size tests carried out by the Condor Legion during the Spanish civil war.
