Hasta la Victoria siempre...!
On January 8, 1959, the victorious revolutionaries of the "Movimento 26 Julio"...
... with their comandante en jefe, the lawyer Fidel Castro Ruz, at the helm in the Cuban capital Havana ...:
In the following pictures we also see Castro's closest combatants, the Argentine doctor Ernesto Guevara de la Serna, known as "Ché" (buddy) and Camillo Cienfuegos (with a broad-brimmed hat) ...:
The revolutionaries generally only known as "Barbudos" ("the bearded ones") complete on this day their victory over the hated dictator Fulgencio Batista y Zaldivar ...
... who had recently gone abroad with his family, a few loyal followers and the gold reserves of the Cuban state bank ...
The victorious entry of the "Barbudos" into Havana today, exactly 73 years ago, is immortalized on the Cuban 1 peso banknote ...:
Amazingly, Cienfuegos (who died on October 28, 1959 in a still unexplained plane crash) is shown next to Castro, but Ché Guevara is missing ...
