Kurt Gustav Wilckens

Kurt Gustav Wilckens was a German anarchist, known in Argentina for having avenged the massacre of hundreds of workers on strike in the repression unleashed by the Argentine government in response to the prolonged Patagonia rebelde labor uprising. Wilckens assassinated Lieutenant Colonel Héctor Benigno Varela, the military leader in charge of the brutal repression. He was arrested at the scene. As the guard overpowered him, he exclaimed, "I have avenged my brothers!"
