Republican Troops in Battle

This series of photographs was taken by Hungarian-American photographer Robert Capa during the Spanish Civil War. Capa supported the Republican forces who fought during 1936 through 1939 to defend Spain's elected government from an attempted military coup. As he documented the Republicans’ efforts, Capa became the first to capture on film a soldier being killed in action.
