A German photographer's unique images of the Spanish Civil War

To escape from Nazi Germany, Walter Reuter moved to Spain in 1933. There, he documented the civil war from start to finish. Thousands of the images he captured were discovered only in 2016 and are still being studied.


Destruction in Madrid
This photo by Reuter from 1936 shows buildings in the capital, Madrid, that were destroyed in a bombardment by Franco's army. The poster on the wall reads, "Fascism passed through here!"
