The Brigade of Death was a unit of the confederal militias that acted at the beginning of the Spanish Civil War in the republican rear (Tarragona and Bajo Aragón). Officially it was the investigation brigade of the South Ebro Column, a column of anarchist militiamen that Antonio Ortiz had led from Barcelona. Its leader was Pascual Fresquet and it was made up of some forty militiamen linked to the Barcelona Federación Anarquista Ibérica (FAI).
