[edit] Dubious Source
"On May 29, 1937, the Republican air force attacked Nationalist air bases and the port of Ibiza, the German pocket battleship Deutschland, which was part of the non-intervention blockade fleet entered the area of the port to threaten the Republican planes."
A nice bedtime story: the nasty ship threatens planes. I will look into the circumstances because I think, (just a hunch), that the source is giving an unbalanced version of events. And nor does this source mention the 2 Republican battleships and 2 cruisers who fired on Deutschland but missed- it was added to Kriegsmarine "On 29 May 1937 the Deutschland was attacked off Ibiza by four Republican destroyers and two light cruisers, Libertad and Mendez-Nunez. Also attacking were bombers from the Republican Airforce." Fluffy999 21:45, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
