José Buenaventura Durruti Dumange (14 July 1896 – 20 November 1936) was a Spanish anarchist leader. He was born in the town of León. Durruti was a central figure of Spanish anarchism during the country's civil war of 1936-1939.[1] He fought against fascism.
He robbed banks to use the money to help his friends escape prison.[2] It is believed that he killed the bishop Juan Soldevilla. Some anarchists believed Soldevilla helped people who murdered people in labor unions.
He died in Madrid when he was killed by a person using a gun during the Spanish Civil War.
