The Forgotten Nazi Uprising in Chile (1938)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 бер 2024
- On 5 September 1938 Chilean extremists launched an uprising in Santiago de Chile. The party was named National Socialist Movement of Chile (Movimiento Nacional Socialista de Chile), in short the MNS, and its members were named Nacistas. Of the founding members some of them had closer ties to Germany. The leader Jorge González von Marées had studied in Germany. He named himself 'el Jefe' (the Chief). On 5 September armed MNS men took over the central building of the University of Chile in downtown Santiago. Another group occupied the Workers' Social Security Building, right next to La Moneda, the presidential palace. They were soon overcome by the Chilean military police and shot by the Carabineros in what became known as the Seguro Obrero Massacre (or: Matanza del Seguro Obrero).

Exacto !!

@@mauriciocastro2601nadie esta negando eso … acá se esta hablando de un evento específico .
Almost 12 years in school and not once did they taught me about this. And I hear it from a Duch teacher lmao. Thanks for putting the sources in the description btw.
Estoy de acuerdo. En mi caso recuerdo que ni siquiera mencionaron que eran nazis. Como que le quieren echar tierra encima a esto Saludos!
Ask more questions bro 😊
Sad. In my time, when I finished the 12 years, 2001, we must studied chilean history if you wanted go in the university, the PAA examen required it, especially if you wanted study humanities or human ciencies or Right. Maybe in the schools this was explained in general, with a little of descriptions, but, if you needed a good exam, you prepared with several books, very popular in this times. Today there are less chilean history, because the goverments needs a citizen without roots.

Hi! Chilean here, very well explained! I remember researching this for a school project and I was surprised of how little known this event is. It's certainly bizarre (Nazi coup attempt in Chile is not the first thing that comes to mind when discussion fascism), but also fascinating.
I remember researching this in the context of police brutality, considering most of the Nacistas were young in age and executed without a trial.
Thanks for covering this! Come visit us in Chile anytime!
Many thanks for your reply. Happy Easter.
I’m also Chilean and It brings back memories of when my grandfather told me about it and it was really a massacre that happened in the Seguro Obrero.
Thanks for sharing.
Learned something new about Chile today.
Thanks.
🇨🇱👍
Me too. Chile 🇨🇱
My grandfather saw all these events from his office window. He worked at the Caja de Crédito Prendario (Pledge Credit Fund), right in front of the Caja del Seguro Obrero (Workers' Insurance Fund), where the nacistas entrenched themselves.
More than for the political motivations of the uprising, the event is remembered for the mass murder committed by Carabineros, and is called the "Seguro Obrero Massacre." In the end, the "nacistas" were few and irrelevant, and if it weren't for the massacre, surely no one would remember them now. Arturo Alessandri was a tremendously impulsive and violent guy. He once slapped a police officer because he had not cleared a parking space for the presidential car in time. His son, also president Jorge Alessandri, never married or had children, so two rumors circulated; that he was homosexual or that he was impotent because of a kick in the testicles he had received from his father. There are also witnesses who heard Alessandri shout out of control "Kill them all!" I cannot affirm it with the certainty of a historian, but it seems very difficult to me for a simple police general to order the shooting of 60 people and finishing them off with swords 20 meters from the Government House without an order or approval from the president.
After the event, the press was censored and there was no investigation. Even the Carabineros Hospital is named after General Arriagada, who ordered the massacre.
Chile never declared war on Germany! It only declared war on Japan, almost when the atomic bomb was already falling.
Thanks for sharing this.
As a fellow Chilean, I actually learned a lot with your comment! Thanks.
@@HistoryHustle If indeed Chile only declared war on Japan and not Germany and Italy, shouldn’t you update this video? That being said, I am a Chilean-American and I very much appreciate you teaching the planet about what happened in South America during an important period of our history, thank you!
My grandmother remembered those times here in Chile. The aftermath of the failed coup d'etat was a massacre as stated by Stefan, and she witnessed the aftermath of the massacre. As for the pro-Nazi movement, it was very present, and later the Falange succeeded the pro-Nazi elements and went on to foment and promote several rumblings of attempted coups.
The chilean falange didn't supported future coups, at least until 1973, because this movement only had the same name to the spanish falange, but they are conservatives involved in social christian ideology and with the time become in a reformist popular movement of left center. In the fourties they changes his name to Christian Democrat Party.
My grandmother also remembered those days, and she even knew a few words of the Nacistas anthem! 😂
@@oscarhuenchunao639 "Vamos chilenos a la acción!"
@@e.e.2282 la falange nacional fue un partido nacionalista y del sector patriótico hasta 1945. A partir de ahí se convirtió en simple democracia cristiana.

Great idea to go beyond the 'normal' history and examine and explain something that I knew nothing about - and I taught secondary history for 45 yrs. Thank you very much and keep up the great work.
Great to read. Many thanks!
I’m from Chile. I remember being taught this at school. One of the things my teacher said was that the president was calmly walking with his dog when an officer told him that these nazis captures that building. The president wasn’t on a mood so he just said something like “Just kill them all (plus some cursing)” but not literally, he just meant “do your work and leave me alone”. Then the military proceded to kill them all. I don’t know if that’s true but it’s still interesting if true
Interesting to read. Thanks for sharing.
Great video. South america is scarcely mentioned in most channels with most commonly known events so such a series is a true gem
Glad you appreciate it!
i did not know about this at all, great work from you. Salutations from a Chilean living in Germany 😂
My family migrated from Germany to Chile. Then from Chile to Australia. This was a piece of history I never learned, thank you for explaining it.
Thanks for your reply.
Again, Thank you so much for your videos!!!
Thanks!
Hey! I'm a history teacher in the US, and the subjects you cover are events that I've been interested in, also. I just wanted to say thank you for making these videos. They are very informative, prescient and necessary. Proost!
Many thanks for your reply!
Hi!!! A Chilean here, as a recommendation a good place to find more information about the History of chile and the more context of that era it’s “memoria chilena” a web page of our national library!
@@martinignaciolopezguzman3921 Thank you very much! I'll check it out.
I'm chilean, to my knowledge, very accurate. Congrats and thanks to take out parts of our history that wants to be erased.
Thanks for your reply!
Hi, another Chilean comment. This episode of our history is little known. I myself learned about it at the University, when a right-wing teacher told us about it. Later, in the 1990s there was a TV report about the Matanza, done by Informe Especial. More recently (2017) a book by Chilean journalist Emiliano Valenzuela was published, titled "La Generación Fusilada".
I think this video is very accurate, and I'm suscribing to your channel. 😊😊
Great, welcome to the channel. Hope you have seen the Chile WW2 episode also👍
Excellent video,Stefan!
Thank you Carlos.
Chilean here! Great video! Came to refresh my knowledge of this event after seeing it in my feed. It's interesting to see the influence of German military on our country, to the point it could be said that this was just part of the Nazis operation here. Years later there were officers and their decendants through-out the whole power (Economic, Politic and Military), where Dictator, General Pinochet, and his council received instructions from them on intelligence, torture and propaganda, as well as recent Parlament represants (Republican Party, UDI and RN) like José Antonio Kast (son of Michael Kast, Nazi soldier) who has run for presidency last two elections. Keep up the good stuff! I'll check your video on Argentina next!
Great investigation. Great video. To know our chilean history is needed. Thank you, my friend.
Thanks for your reply Jose!

Very nice to read. Thank you.
@@HistoryHustle By the way. I meant "done" instead of "die". Wasn't my intention, only bad grammar.
As always, it has to be someone from abroad the one who teaches us some forgotten own history.
Great job, man.

Chilean history is very interesting. Too bad the educational system seems to think Chilean history starts in 1973.
I see! In the future a video about 1973 and after will be uploaded.
El sistema educacional chileno está completamente contaminado con ideología de izquierda.
Stefan, thank you so much for teaching this side of history!
Have you had a completo italiano yet?
Thanks. Completo Italo?
@@HistoryHustle A completo italiano is a hot dog with smashed avocado, mayo and diced tomato (green, white and red like the italian flag, hence the "italiano" part). We tend to call all hot dogs "completos", but originally completos were hot dogs with sauerkraut, diced tomato and mayo.
They are relatively cheap too! between 1.600 to 3.000 CLP
great video. cheers from a Chilean
🇨🇱👍
As a chilean, all this is new to me. Thanks for teaching me about my own country.
The building you show behind you at 0:15-16, was formerly the Hotel Carrera, but is now some government offices. There was (is?) a swimming pool and an open-air bar-restaurant on the roof and we used to go up there, drink, eat and enjoy the scenery decades ago while guests (many times) at the hotel. The bar and restaurant downstairs, adjacent to the lobby were 5-star venues, even with live music in the prime hours. I experienced two earthquakes in that hotel. The staff had to clean up the lobby floor underneath the grand mosaic artwork above the check-in desk after one of the quakes. The building's guest elevators still had live operators/attendants through the 1980s, as well. A beautiful place, it was.
Thanks for sharing this. Very interesting to read.
The chilean nazi party had 3 diputados (representants in the Parliament) and the 3,6 % of the votes of the all in his best moment 1938. After the failed putsch, for the presidential elections, they supported the candidate of the popular front in revange of the liberal goverment of Alessandri, and his candidate Gustavo Ross. In the other side, Aguirre Cerda, a radical (center left) won with the votes of radicals, socialist, comunist (popular front) and "nacistas", the ancient enemies. The nacistas were chilean nationalists and they broke with some hitlerian nacistas. After the war some ex nacistas were importants, like Guarello Fitz Henry, a lawyer that worked in the declaration of the 200 sea miles (Declaration of Santiago), with Perú and Ecuador. The politics in Chile in the age post 1938 until 1973 was nationalist, in the right and left side, in the sense of to protect the national resorces and the little national industry, with huge taxes for the international trade.
Eran unos 20.000 militantes. Lo que sucedió es que algunos de sus líderes y seguidores cambiaron de chaqueta después. Como von marees,que se pasó a las ideas de la derecha liberal años después. O el que tu mencionas,que me parece que se volvió democristiano.
Just subscribed from Colombia 🇨🇴 very interesting 👍
Thanks. I have some videos on Colombia too 👍
Hi stefan, great video again. Can I know what countries you are gonna visit next?
Now in Argentina. Next Uruguay and Brazil.
Wish to thank you for sharing your video lecture on this semi forgotten episode. This young generation of Americans are extremely ignorant of Nazi/Fascist rebellion that occurred 1930's Chile. This occurance is largely ignored in The United States,which in my opinion, is short sighted. Once again thank you for producing another brilliant video lecture on the subject. I am looking forward to your next video lecture.
Many thanks for your reply Fred!
I live in Chile, amd I thank you for this report. Both Von Marees and Carabinero General Arriagada were convicted in their roles, but later received pardons. Chile did not declare war on.Germany but only broke diplomatic relations and seized assets of certain German businesses (Chile did declare war against Japan)..The massacre in the Seguro Obrero buillding was one of the worst violations of human rights in Chile's history
Thanks for watching.
This was known in here as "la Matanza del Seguro Obrero". Thanks for the content!

One of my relatives was among this group. My great-grandfather arrived in Punta Arenas from Hamburg.
Interesting to read. Thanks for sharing.
Muchas Gracias

Another Chilean here! Just a small addition: one reason the Nacistas believef the army would join them was because supposedly they had on their side a retired general that would gather support for the coup and march into the capital to assist them. They were supposed to be just an initial distraction/signal for friendly troops to revolt.
But when the coup started, the general banished and was unreachable
Edit: My bad, it wasn't a retired general, but a retired colonel called Caupolican Clavel Dinator
Thanks for sharing.
In the most pure style of what military leaders tend to do, they promised them thompson smgs and support, but as soon as they saw how small of a group they could gather, they just dissapeared, let their "boys" be slaughtered, and negated any and all involvement in the coup🤣
Not the military but the "Carabineros", and I'm sure the general you are talking about is "Carlos Ibáñez del Campo" who was the Commander in Chief of the Carabineros de Chile (Militarized Police).
@@CamaradaPatriota you got it all wrong. Ibañez was a colonel of the army, he never led Carabineros de Chile, but was the guy that founded the institution. I was refering to the contact with Caupolican Clavel Dinator, who I was wrong in saying was an exgeneral, but was instead a retired colonel
@@javieraravena5345 Oh yeah, I thought you were talking about the Ibañez's Carabineros support when they were expecting it on the Seguro Obrero but never arrived.
Or maybe the General Francisco Javier Díaz Valderrama.
Very interesting material, as Chilean is always a pleasure to learn some less known aspects of our culture.

Hi! A chilean here, Nice vídeo, very complete in arguments and information, the perfect summary of a very confusing era.

Gracias 🇨🇱👍
Thank you very much for this interesting documentary. I have been interested in this topic in the past and have struggled to find reliable information. I believe it would be a great legacy for our country’s history to have a well-documented account of this fascinating chapter. In fact, I think it explains the mindset of some Chileans.
Thanks for your reply!
One very telling aspect of this event was the lack of support in any form from Germany and the NSDAP.
It should never be overlooked that Hitler was extremely suspicious of overseas versions of the NSDAP.
In general Nazi Germany was reluctant to say the least when it came to supporting overseas versions of National Socialism.
Also, as you poInt out, Chile did not want anything that could possibly encourage a coalition of others, notably Argentina, Bolivia & Peru. All of whom they had territorial issues with.
Eso es porque von marees demostró no ser un auténtico ns. Criticó a Hitler desde 1937,apoyó a la república en la guerra civil española...
I think thats not because Hitler disliked chile or the movement there. I think its just because National Socialism has no international goal like Bolschewism or Marxist Socialism which aims for world revolution.
@Ratselmeister No it was more than that. Hitler never trusted foreign national socialist parties. Certainly the NSDAP was very reluctant to supply support or financial aid. Even when it was really in their interests to do so.
I love the topics of your videos
Do a video on Miguel Serrano, hes also from Chile
Not anytime soon.

You omit many parts such as that the Nazis supported Pedro Aguirre Cerda and that Gonzáles Von Marees was arrested and then released by Pedro Aguirre Cerda and the same Nazis gave him their greeting then the Nazis supported the creation of several services such as Corfo itself and its Variants Agraria were government in 1958.
But is good resume

Thank's Stefan for documenting this little know, yet interesting, part of my country's history. What was von Marées fait? If you said it, I didn't catch it. I assumed he was killed during the uprising.
Hello, very good video, I don't know if on your journey you were able to see that in the workers' insurance building (which is now the human rights building) there is a commemorative plaque in honor of the fallen of '38, all their names are there.

I'm chilean and I never heard of this story before
Thanks for watching.
I was born in Chile and my grandfather was a Carabinero. He was a sergeant at the time of the Seguro Obrero massacre, he was posted at the main Comisaría in the northern city of Coquimbo. In times of emergency, he became the secretary of the Jefe de Plaza, or City Commandant, so he was privy to all communications between the political, military and police commands. When the uprising happened, all police were placed on maximum alert and all armed forces were recalled to barracks. I was reading about this when I was a kid and, when I asked him about it, he said that many thought the execution of the young nazis was an overreaction, but the police were not in a position to disobey orders and, besides, the order came from the highest government authorities. The President, it was said, was watching the proceedings from La Moneda palace and he was outraged that these young men would dare try to depose him and wanted a deterrent to future coups d'état. There were some incredible survival stories though, of men with multiple bullet and bayonet wounds not only surviving, but making a full recovery.
Somebody must've put them up to it, because I doubt they would've tried (unless they were incredibly stupid) without an absolute certainty that the armed forces were going to join in the coup.
Very interesting to read. Thanks for sharing this.

"La matanza del Seguro Obrero" was definitely a topic that we studied in School in tercero medio early eighties. In fact, a cousin of my grandfather died there, Hugo Badilla Tellería, 21 years old (RIP). His parents, doctor Plutarco Badilla and mrs. Romelia Tellería fought bravely in the media and in court to bring justice to the case. Their efforts elicited the self-exile of Arturo Alessandri.

Tragic, but very interesting story.
In Brazil we had the Brazilian integralist action (AIB), equally fascist-inspired, but with some black members in its ranks (the history is complex as always).
After the coup that occurred, if I'm not mistaken also in 1938, by Getúlio Vargas, the integralists and their leader Plínio Salgado hoped to have some participation in the Government. Instead his party was also dissolved, like the communist party :/ So they tried to carry out a treacherous coup, trying to invade the Palácio do Catete (government headquarters), but they had to face the Palace guards, the police 🚨, and God almighty 🙌.
The Coup failed, some members were executed, Plínio fled the country to Portugal, returning after redemocratization (in 1946 I think), and during the military dictatorship of 64 he was one of the deputies and supporters of the dictatorship.
Heel erg interessant, ben geboren in Chili maar woon al heel lang in Nederland. Wist wel dat er Nazis in Chili zaten maar niet hoe veel invloed ze hadden!

Thanks for watching.
A very interesting what-if scenario. If the uprising was successful, how would Chile have an impact in South America and the world?
@BHuang92, The biggest effect would be on the people of Chile. On the world stage Chile would have little impact.
I believe that the US wouldn't have alowed this by Doctrine Monroe. UK was the owner of the seas. In Chile the naci party was small. The right was conservative or liberal, and had connections with US and UK. The left was stronger that the naci party. Would has have riots and the nacis wouldn't have can ruled the country.
@@e.e.2282 los naciste chilenos tenían unos 20.000 militantes. Existían también otros grupos nacionalistas,fascistas,etc. Entre todos eran unos 100.000. Y eso sin contar a los sectores proalemanes que había en la parte más conservadora de la derecha y en el ejercito.
Interesting!

Every 5th of September, there are bouquets and MSN flags made out of said bouquets (apart from candles) are put in place on the place of the riot. There is also a plaque commemorating the killing with the names of the fallen nacistas and a quote of von Marées, which is the site where the flower memorial is placed every year that passes.
Chilean here. I have read about this event years ago. I think they have a monument somewhere in Santiago, but I don't think nobody who lives close to it knows about what is such monument. Or could be the monument was take out of that place. As I said, I read years ago about this story.
Thanks for watching.
I thought Chile only declared war on Japan. Diplomatic relations were severed with the Axis countries sooner though.
Thanks for sharing.
Chile tried to stay neutral, however the USA kept on putting extra pressure, especially knowing that diplomatic relations with the Axis were good. By the time Germany’s downfall started, they broke ties (The Ratlines show this wasn’t that true however)

Y los subtítulos en español?🇨🇱🤘
Lo siento.
Wasn't taught this in High School but had a lesson about it in Uni and I taught it in High School. Since it's called "Masacre de Seguro Obrero" most people understand it as just another instance where the police killed strinking workers (we had MANY of those during this period) rather than a failed coup attempt that just happened to take place in the Seguro Obrero building.

It's widely acknowledged among Historians that Arturo Alessandri was the first Hipster: he invented being into things before they became popular.
Lol.
Very interesting briefing of a little known political event in Chile, also full of myths and propaganda for each "side".
Thank you.
Thanks for watching.
Nacis and MNS its a bit more complicated than that. Von Marees was known to be a megalomaniac (he was very enfatic to tell everyone that they where not close to germany. actually he was more of a fan of Mussolini)...hence why students from the universidad the chile, law school, started their own parallel group and planned the "toma del seguro obrero". When they arrested the young protesters von marees rattled them in the underground and when into hiding. Alessandri gave the order to murder them even with the carabineros having the coup totally controlled. Alessandri was a known Facist. Pedro aguirre cerda and others like Allende had their ties with the Nacis. Its been well documented. MNS tho...was a nazi group that had quite a following in the mid 90ties. Just google Alexis lopez ol videos and interviews. however...Nazi networks where quite active in the region the los lagos.
Interesting to read.
Alessandri no era fascista, pero sí autoritario y brutal
Alessandri era de derecha blanda. Aguirre cerda era de izquierda. Los ns en los años 80 serian más de 46.000 en chile.
Now I need to check what my grandfather was doing in 1938.
...
He was nine. His father was AWOL and drinking in Punta Arenas. Guess we are safe.
It is interesting to know, though, the role that earlier immigrants had in this. Had this come out successfully it would have triggered a north-south civil war, and perhaps a later struggle between Ibañez and von Mareés. The 30s were already crazy enough in Chile. The country was struck quite strongly by WW1 and the depression, with saltpetter, the spoiles of the War of the Pacific, becoming effectively worthless. Up to that point, the proletarian class had been growing as more and more people immigrated to northern cities, leading to tensions and even massacres, sich as the one in 1907 in Iquique.
We then had a "socialist republic" that lasted a couple of months in 1932 and before that Ibañez had staged a coup and implanted corporativism in the country, plus an uprising right after Ibañez left power.
By the time Alessandri returned to power in late 1932 he seems to have made every bit of effort to restore some stability. I can only imagine he must have felt justified to use ruthless force when the nacistas attempted to interrupt the unstable stability.
In the aftermath of Ibañez's withdraw from the presidential ballot he called his suporters to vote for Aguirre Cerda, who won by a margin below 1%. Cerda ushered in a decade of Radical rule in Chile, in which the country faced WW2 and the opening years of the Cold War, and arguably set the stage for the political polarization leading to Allende's victory in 1970 and Pinochet's coup in 1973.
Hope you enjoyed your visit to Chile.
Had a great time. In the future more videos on Chile.
Hello, your videos are good, I understand it, but you have made the same mistake twice, I think that in your previous videos I had told you about it, but in this video you say it again...Chile did not declare war on Germany In February 1945, where did you get that information? Chile declared war on Japan in April 1945, but not on Germany nor on Italy or any other Axis country (Finland, Hungary, Romania, etc.)
"""In April 1945, the National Congress authorized President Juan Antonio Ríos to declare war on the Axis, which became official on April 13, specifically against Japan. However, given the imminent defeat of the Japanese country , no military measures were taken to participate in the war.""
My great-aunt, born in 1911, was a member of the TNA or assault troops, until the day she died in 2005, all those who did not love Pinochet were evil-born communists for her. Her brother (my grandfather) and her father (my great-grandfather) were soldiers, but both Masons, so in the house there was a big fight between them, since my great-aunt treated them as traitors for not being Nazis. like her.
Then I guess I stand corrected. Sources can be found below the video.
Con respecto a pinochet,hubo grupos ns que le apoyaron siempre. Otros le apoyaron al principio,en los primeros años. Luego este segundo tipo de ns le retiraron su apoyo. Consideraban que el régimen militar estaba demasiado influido por los neoliberales,y eso no les gustaba. En los años 80,los ns en chile eran más de 46.000.
how is chile these days?
Great!
