sixty individuals died as a direct result of fighting on 11 september, although the mir and gap continued to fight the following day. in all, 46 of allende's guard (the gap, "grupo de amigos personales") were killed, some of them in combat with the soldiers that took the moneda. allende's cuban-trained guard would have had about 300 elite commando-trained gap fighters at the time of the coup, but the use of brute military force, especially the use of hawker hunters, may have handicapped many gap fighters from further action.
