On this day, 20 November 1936, Spanish rail worker, civil war military leader and anarcho-syndicalist Buenaventura Durruti died after being shot the previous day during the defence of Madrid from the fascists. A hero to the Spanish working class, half a million workers attended his funeral, and his military unit named themselves after him: the Durruti Column.
This work of historical fiction explores different theories behind his exact cause of death: https://shop.workingclasshistory.com/collections/books/products/the-man-who-killed-durruti-pedro-de-paz https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1268947309957083/?type=3
