  • 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).

      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.

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 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.

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

    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".

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

      Also, Von Maares dissociated himself from the NSDAP because he rejected any kind of racialist thought in his own corpus. In his vision, the Nazi racial thinking made absolute no sense in the reality of Chile and Hispanic America.
      That's why nobody here in Chile calls them 'Nazis' but 'nacistas'. In practice they were both different kinds of movements, the only thing in common is that both are fascist movements.
      South American fascist movements before the cold war are a very interesting topic. They're different beasts compared with their European counterparts.

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.

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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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.

Today defends the idea that exist several nations and nationalisms inner a country (plurinational state), and fight against the unique nationalism in each country that defend the right (one Nation, one State). With this idea they has tried broke the traditional concepts of Republic, the liberal heritage and the equality under the law, that in these countries exist since the independence or come of the XIX century.
