A major element of German support to Franco's forces during the Spanish Civil War, Legion Condor was a joint air-ground operation considered the first great testing ground for the Luftwaffe. Three of the titles feature "Legion Condor" embroidered on felt; one gray thread on black felt, one gray thread on deep blue felt, and one silver thread on deep blue felt. The fourth is gold wire on red twill cloth, marked "1936 Spanien 1939". A similar cuff title appears on the cover of Gordon Williamson and Thomas McGuirl's "German Military Cuffbands 1784-Present."
