Durruti Column
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Durruti Column was the most famous column of anarchist fighters during the Spanish Civil War. It was "led" by Buenaventura Durruti from mid-1936 until his death on November 20 of that year. The column was instrumental in holding Madrid for the Republic in the face of the falangist uprising. It had a French-speaking unit, the Sébastien Faure Century. The Column was eventually, like the rest of the anarchist and socialist units, incorporated into the general army of the Republic.
