To a great extent. The German government under Adolf Hitler provided a great deal of military assistance to Franco in winning the Spanish Civil War. Germany sent troops, equipment, aircraft & pilots to participate in combat. This was called the 'Condor Legion'. In addition, Italy under Mussolini, sent military units to help Franco.
"Luftwaffe" is a German synonyme for "airforce"... and the today's German airforce is called Luftwaffe, too. The Luftwaffe of Nazi-Germany was founded in 1936.
Franco's supporters, known as Nationalists, included a coalition of military officers, conservative monarchists, fascists, and the Catholic Church, who opposed the Second Spanish Republic. They were backed by groups such as the Falange, a Spanish fascist party, and received significant military support from Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy during the Spanish Civil War. Additionally, landowners and industrialists who feared leftist reforms also rallied behind Franco's cause.

The Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) served as a dress rehearsal for World War II, showcasing the devastating effects of modern warfare. It involved extensive use of aerial bombardment, tanks, and new military tactics, highlighting the destructive capabilities of technology and ideology.

There were two major reasons that Nazi Germany took an active role in assisting the Nationalists in the Spanish Civil War. The first major reason was that the Nationalists in Spain wee trying to implement a fascist government, which would be ideologically similar to the Nazi German government (which was also fascist). The second major reason is that the Spanish Civil War would provide experience and war-training for the new Nazi German war-machine and its new military technologies. In particular, Nazi Germany took many opportunities to test its modern Luftwaffe or Air-Force by bombing key Republican strongholds like Basque town of Guernica, even where civilian casualties would be extremely high. The bombing of Guernica was immortalized in the painting of the same name by Pablo Picasso.
