Enric Marco (c.1920) claimed to have been a prisoner in German Nazi concentration camps Mauthausen and Flossenburg in World War II. He was awarded the Cross of Saint Jordi by the Catalan government in 2001 and wrote a book on his experiences. In 2005 he admitted it was a lie and returned his medal, after it was revealed by university researcher Benito Bermejo.

"I admit I never was interned in the Flossenburg camp, though I was in preventive detention accused of plotting against the Third Reich," said Marco. He was released after a few weeks of maltreatment and returned to Spain in 1943.

Marco represented for many years the thousands of Spaniards who had truly been deported to concentration camps by Francisco Franco.
