Spanish civil war was a rehearsal for many techniques that were in World War 2?
Yes, it has certainly been viewed in that way. The lessons of World War 1 were learned more quickly by some nations than others. Mobility was replacing the static defense. The airplane and the tank were improving in both their technology and tactical employment. Military techniques practiced on a primitive level in the Spanish Civil War were used more widely and effectively in World War 2. I have heard from multiple sources that the Spanish Civil War was a rehearsal for World War 2, and I think that this statement has much validity.

Amputations in the civil war?
Amputations during the American Civil War were common due to the prevalence of severe injuries from gunfire and artillery. Medical practices at the time often prioritized the quick removal of damaged limbs to prevent infection and gangrene, as anesthesia and antiseptics were not widely used. Approximately 60% of the surgeries performed were amputations, with many soldiers facing long-term disability. The high volume of amputations highlighted the brutal nature of the conflict and led to advancements in surgical techniques and medical care.
