abstract	Milton 'Milt' Wolff (nicknamed El Lobo) (October 7, 1915 – January 14, 2008) was born into a working class Jewish immigrant family in Brooklyn, New York. At the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War, Wolff concluded that as a Jew he should be at the forefront of the fight against Fascism. In early 1937, he joined the Lincoln Brigade fighting for the Spanish Republicans. Originally a pacifist, he served as a medic, but after earlier commanders were killed in the fierce fighting, he was elevated to command in 1938. He soon gained a reputation as a capable and courageous leader, admired by the volunteer soldiers under his command as well as by his Spanish Republican allies, and was highly praised in the reports of Ernest Hemingway from Spain. Wolff led the Lincoln Brigade during the Battle of the Ebro, the Republic's last-ditch effort to survive. After the Republican defeat in that battle, Wolff, along with other international volunteers, was evacuated from Spain in November 1938. During World War II, he continued his struggle against Fascism, working with partisans and guerrillas in occupied Europe on behalf of the British Special Operations Executive and the American Office of Strategic Services. In later life he was involved in the Civil Rights Movement in the US and in opposing the Vietnam War and South African Apartheid.
