During which war did the Battle of the Ebro take place?
"take part in was the Battle of the Ebro, in 1938. The Soviets deduced that although tank formations in Spain were not large enough to perform an ideal mechanized penetration of an enemy's lines, too large tank formations were also not ideal due to uneven terrain preventing their use en masse. As a result, armored commanders like Pavlov considered the tank's best role to be infantry support. The Republican use of armor during the Spanish Civil War was not a good demonstration of deep mechanized battle. During the Spanish Civil War, the Nationalist Army only developed a single tank, the"
