La Martellita

"La Martellita" was a Communist Party official of the Spanish Republic. It fell to her to discipline Chaim Weinberg when the latter was being too candid in sharing his political opinions. Weinberg was attracted to La Martellita, a stunningly beautiful woman, and attempted to flirt with her, much to her disgust.

Weinberg next entrapped her into quoting Leon Trotsky, the "Red Antichrist." After having done so, La Martellita realized she had given Weinberg damning information he could use against her if she made her discipline harsh. La Martellita reluctantly sent him away with very light discipline. She was even afraid to deny him when he asked for her real name, which was Magdalena.
