Biography
He started a production company in Berlin, which released Der Kampf un der Mann in 1927. He moved to Spain and was unsuccessful in starting a film production studio. In conjunction with the Confederación Nacional del Trabajo, he began to film Carne de fieras in July 1936 but was interrupted by the Spanish Civil War. The film was later finished in 1992. During the war, he produced several documentaries. Upon returning to Spain, Guerra was captured. Though he escaped to Paris in February 1939, he soon died thereafter.
