Today in Labor History November 15, 1936: 1,800 militiamen from the anarchist Durutti Column entered Madrid to fight the fascists. Madrid was the first large city in the world to be subjected to a fascist attack as a prelude to WWII. By November 18th, only 700 of the 1800 anarchist militiamen were still fighting. Many had died and others had deserted because of hunger and sleep deprivation. Durutti persuaded some to return to their positions, but was himself mortally wounded on November 20.
