Commander of the smaller Luftflotte III, Hugo Sperrle's greatest claim to fame came before the Second World War when he was given command of the infamous Legion Condor during the Spanish Civil War.
As usual, his counsel was ignored by his commander, but this underscores Sperrle's true capabilities as a commander, rather than the impression his survival instincts often paint of him.
