Legion Condor is a 1939 German war film directed by Karl Ritter and starring Paul Hartmann, Albert Hehn and Fritz Kampers. The film portrays the German Condor Legion, which fought in the Spanish Civil War. Because of the German-Soviet Pact, the production was halted after 15 days of shooting, on 25 August 1939, to avoid offending the Soviets, who had supported the other side in Spain and were negatively portrayed in the film. Karl Ritter's diary entry that day stated that Hermann Göring had called the Ufa studio to tell him to abort the film.
