Usera Tunnel (Spanish: Túnel de Usera, also Spanish: Túnel de la muerte) was a scam operated by Republican security units during the Spanish Civil War. It took place in Madrid between mid-October and mid-November 1937. Its objectives were twofold; one was to capture supposed supporters of the Nationalists, who were hiding in Madrid, mostly in premises of foreign diplomatic missions; another was to enrich the scammers by robbing the victims of money and valuables. The scammers floated rumors about an underground tunnel, allegedly located in the Madrid suburb of Usera and running below the frontline to the Nationalist-held sector.

  • El Túnel de la Mort d'Usera va ser l'escenari al qual van tenir lloc diversos casos reals, però poc estudiats per la historiografia, de desaparició forçada i assassinat de diverses persones a Madrid, a la zona republicana, durant la Guerra Civil espanyola. Els cossos van ser localitzats el 1939, amb l'entrada de les tropes franquistes a la ciutat, enterrats en una fossa comuna situada després de les línies de l'Exèrcit Popular Republicà al front de guerra que va quedar establert al barri d'Usera, després de l'inici de la Batalla de Madrid a la fi de 1936. Actualment les restes reposen soterrats a la cripta del de les religioses teatines, construït als anys 1940 en aquest mateix barri. (ca)

Los cuerpos fueron localizados en 1939, con la entrada de las tropas sublevadas en la ciudad, enterrados en una fosa común ubicada tras las líneas del Ejército Popular Republicano, en el frente de guerra que quedó establecido en el barrio de Usera, después de los inicios de la batalla de Madrid a finales de 1936. Actualmente los restos reposan sepultados en la cripta del de las religiosas , construido en los años 1940 en este mismo barrio. (es)
