Antonio Téllez Solà

Antoni Téllez Solà (1921–2005) was a Catalan anarchist guerrilla, historian and journalist. Born in Tarragona, he was too young to join the confederal militias during the Spanish Civil War and was forced to flee to France by the Catalonia Offensive. The Vichy government drafted him into a forced labour company, within which he worked until his escape in 1944. He subsequently joined up with the Spanish Maquis, participating in the Liberation of France and in the abortive invasion of Val d'Aran. After the war, he began writing history books about the maquis, continuing to work on the subject until his death.
