Magdalena Flores, better known as "La Martellita" ('the little hammer') was a Communist official of the Spanish Republic. Her nom de guerre was a loose translation of Molotov. In 1939, 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.
