Federico Borrell García

Federico Borrell García (January 3, 1912 – September 5, 1936) was a Spanish Republican and anarchist militiaman during the Spanish Civil War, commonly thought to be the subject in the famous Robert Capa photo The Falling Soldier (Loyalist Militiaman at the Moment of Death, Cerro Muriano, September 5, 1936). Other versions claim that Borrell could have been shot and killed by rebels when posing for Robert Capa. The documentary La sombra del iceberg claims that the picture was staged and that Borrell is not the individual in the picture.
