Enric Marco

Enric Marco Batlle (12 April 1921 – 21 May 2022) was a Spanish impostor who claimed to have been a prisoner in Nazi German concentration camp Flossenbürg in World War II.

In 2005 he admitted his claims were false and returned his medal, after his deception was revealed by university researcher Benito Bermejo.

In his made-up story called Memoir of Hell Marco wrote he had been involved in the French resistance and captured by the Gestapo in southern France.

[2] After 2001 Marco represented an association of survivors of the thousands of Spaniards who had truly been deported to Nazi concentration camp Mauthausen.

From 1978 to 1979, Marco, a metal worker, had been the General Secretary of the Spanish anarchist Union CNT (Confederación Nacional del Trabajo), from which he was expelled in 1980.
