Nice pictures!! I like the way they've been modernised colour wise.

Awesome pics, the one where Che smokes the cigar and wears a shirt, doesn't look like him! does it?

[Wiesty]

The picture your refering to is when he went undercover i believe, i forget where to, i think bolivia

[Vallegrande]

Yeah that was the one before Bolivia. Che had all his hair plucked out except the sides to make him look old. He didn't look like himself after that, and Fidel had it tested during a party. I think that is the only way Che made it to Bolivia without being detected at first.

[Spartacus]

Great pictures. where did you find these colored ones, fistfullofsteel?

[that1guy435]

That picture's in Anderson's biography.

[Wiesty]

hold up in the color one che looks like he's disguied but it looks like a different disguise, the black and white ones make him look a lot older, the hair line/glasses

He might have ;)

[ReD_ReBeL]

yea thy shot him in numoures places so it didnt look like an execution so it looked like he was killed in battle

[CheJoni]

very nice pitures :wub:

[Karl Marx's Camel]

Why did Che have "scar along almost whole left side of back"?



yea thy shot him in numoures places so it didnt look like an execution so it looked like he was killed in battle

Why did they do that?

[Janus]

So that it would go with their cover story that Che was killed in battle at Quebrada del Yuro. The Bolivians wanted the Che story to end then and there because they knew that if they took him on trial it would only attract sympathy for Che and Cuba. However the Bolivians bungled their cover story because General Ovando announced that Che died the day before at 1:30 p.m. This meant that Che lived for twenty-two hours after the battle in Quebrada del Yuro, which contradicted Colonel Zenteno’s story. As a result, Colonel Zenteno changes his story to support General Ovando’s.

[ReD_ReBeL]

no no no, thy did shoot him numerous times to make it look like he was shoot in battle, but the scar on his face came about by accident , he dropped his gun by accident and the bullet jst clipped his cheek, even look at some pics of him b4 he went to Bolivia and hes got that scar

[FistFullOfSteel]

According to his autopsy:

He was standing approximately 173 (5'8) cm in height.
Brown curly hair. Light blue eyes.

Just some facts.

[Karl Marx's Camel]

but the scar on his face came about by accident , he dropped his gun by accident and the bullet jst clipped his cheek, even look at some pics of him b4 he went to Bolivia and hes got that scar

But this autopsy says that Che has a scar along almost whole left side of his back?

The accident... Did it happen during the Bay of Pigs invasion?

[FistFullOfSteel]

Does somebody know how tall Fidel Castro is?

[Spartacus]

He is like 6'4" or say they say. I believe he's 6 feet.

the coloured one is when he went to Congo and the black/white picture where he is almost completely bald is from when he went to Bolivia... problem solved

When he was in disguise he had his hair plucked out of his head so it would look real.

Yeah, the scar was a result of an accident in one of the military camp after they had captured it. I think it was in Havana, when they made the general attack, that camp along the bay, I forgot it. I have to check Anderson's book again, damn I lost my copy of that book!


Why did they do that?

To make it appear that they killed Che in battle. And prevent more sympathy, in case they held him in prison.

[Karl Marx's Camel]

Could anyone give an example of a picture where we can see his scar?

Well he was mostly bearded but in pictures you can tell because there would be an area where hair would not grow.

[Sanjee]

klick here (http://www.amnistia.net/biblio/litter/che1.jpg) to view my favorite picture of Che. In his arm you see a dog.

The dog has a story. He was found in de Sierra Maestra and they took him with them as a sign of good luck. A few days later when they planned to attack some troops, the doggy followed them and he was making a lot of noise.
The troops found them, and there was a big fight.
Luckelly nobody of the rebbels got killed, except for one, the poor dog. :P

[ReD_ReBeL]

Sanjee thats is quite wrong but correct in some palces, they where planning to attack some troops so while thy were staking thm out the dog wouldent stop barking so Che just shot it dead so they wouldent get found . This caused to minor friction with alot of the other rebels being upset with Che

[Sanjee]

This is right, but Che wasn't the one who shot the dog.
They were found by the troops because of the dog who barked a lot.
During the fight the dog got killed, it's not sure who killed it but what is for sure is that the dog got killed during the fight.

[Tekun]

The dog should have a plaque :rolleyes:

[ReD_ReBeL]

hmm ok im not sure thn, but i got it wrong too, in John Lee Andersons bio of Che it says he strangled the dog to death to stop it barking.

[Sanjee]

In Jean Cormiers biografie it says the thing that is said.

[dannie]

Sanjee, where are you from?

[chebol]

Che went under cover like this twice. The first time (with the hair) was to the congo.
The scond time, after some serious plucking, was to Bolivia.

The scar was resultant of an accident that took place during the bay of pigs invasion.

On the puppy, it wasn't shot, it was strangled. And, yes, by Che. The poor thing followed them, and they couldn't afford to turn back, send back a man, or take it with them. Che took responsibility for the action. After the attack, they went to the house of a peasant who was a sympathiser, and the peasant's dog gave him a very long look. Che was mortified. It was, however, unfortunately necessary.

Fidel is about an inch shorter than I am (or he was in July), so about 6 foot 1. He is likely to have been somewhat taller, as people tend to shorten with age. His enormity is more political (and conversational :castro: ) than physical, however.

[Sanjee]

Sanjee, where are you from?

Why do you want to know it?

Thats the exact story that i know (not for sure ofcourse, i wasnt there) but i readed it in various che books.

[Big Boss]

I read that dog story on the John Lee Andersons biography on Che. As comrade chebol said, it was sad but necessary

[Karl Marx's Camel]

Didn't they have to kill the dog, because it made too much noise?

[Big Boss]

That's right. The noises made by the dog would have blown their cover easily. The enemy was extremely nearby and they could've heard it.

[Aca]

this is how che looked just few hours before he went to bolivia

[Aca]

here's one more

[anco]

Has anyone seen this pic before? It was on ebay recently. It is taken off again, only to be reposted in the next week or so (according to the seller).
I intend to place a bid but have never only seen this picture once before on an exhibition and want to find out as much as possble about it
Help appreciated

I´m very curious what´s so inappropriate about the picture?
For those who haven't seen it: it is one of the pictures made in Vallegrande on the 10th of october 1967. It shows Che dead and in a (as remembered by many who where there at the time) christ like posure.
It is made by one of the famous photographers at the time: Rene Cadima. It was unknown untill recently.
It is, as far as I know, the only colour picture taken at the time and therefore is VERY appropriate!!! Not to mention the historic significance!.

Stefan Laurent (the founding father of photojournalism)is one of the few people who saw this picture before and wrote about it: "The color and the framing of the image make it a very powerful image and gives Che Guevara the heavenly appearance he was renowned for. [...] The combination of the journalistic, historic value and the artistic input of the photographer make it a unique and valuable piece of photographic art. A true landmark photo."

Is there censorship now on this site as well??

Debora, please clearify your motivations!

<<He was standing approximately 173 (5&#39;8) cm in height.

thanks&#33; That confirms the same info I read from some declassified CIA intelligence files that were in a book, which guessed him at 5&#39;8"-5&#39;9". I figured the latter was about right from viewing him standing next to Fidel at 6&#39;1" or so, and reasonably Che was quite a bit shorter. Other people seem to think he was taller and put him at 5"11. Nahh.

[coda]

I just noticed the blue eye reference&#33; Really? Wow? yeah, in some photos his eyes did appear to look like something other than the otherwise documented brown.

[Abood]

in the pic with the shirt and the cigar, he looks like james bond, hehe

PS: how do u add more than 1 pic in a post?

[ReD_ReBeL]

Heres another colour photo of Che, which is probably airbrush updated or whatever they do.
