Monika Ertl

Monika Ertl was a German-Bolivian communist militant and guerrilla fighter and the daughter of Nazi propagandist Hans Ertl. She is most known for executing Colonel Roberto Quintanilla Pereira, the man responsible for chopping off Che Guevara's hands. This successful execution earned her the title 'Che Guevara's avenger' in Germany. She continued to serve as a soldier in the National Liberation Army (ELN), resisting the Bolivian government, until she was murdered by Bolivian security services in 1973. Her body was never returned to her family, and the site of her grave remains unknown.
