In memory of Camilo Cienfuegos On October 28, 1959, Camilo Cienfuegos - Cuban revolutionary, friend of Che Guevara and Fidel Castro, national hero of Cuba, and one of the organizers of the country's armed forces - died in a plane crash over the Atlantic Ocean. Together with Fidel Castro, Raul Castro and Ernesto Che Guevara, Camilo Chinfuegos organized and led the guerrilla struggle in the Sierra Maestra mountains. In April 1958 he was awarded the rank of commandant (major) - the highest rank in the rebel army. In August 1958, Camilo Chinfuegos took command of the second guerrilla column "Antonio Mazao", which marched from the Sierra Maestra mountains to Las Villas province, where, after defeating Batista's local garrisons, he opened another guerrilla front. Under his command, the city of Yaguajai was conquered, which played an important role in the struggle against the dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista. After the victory of the revolution (January 1, 1959), Chinapuegos participated in the creation of the armed forces of the Republic of Cuba on the basis of the rebel army, and also took part in the implementation of agrarian reform. Among the people, the commander Camilo Chinfuegos was nicknamed "El Givor Yaguay" (the hero of Yaguajay). He was much loved and appreciated for his courage, simplicity and modesty. Camilo Chinfuegos died in a plane crash on October 28, 1959. The wreckage of the plane that crashed into the sea, on which the legendary Commander flew, has never been found. The Cuban leadership expressed suspicion that the Sinapogos plane was shot down by the US Air Force, or that CIA agents on board detonated a bomb. Ernesto Che Guevara, who dedicated his textbook Guerrilla Warfare to Camilo, also supported the theory that Camilo was killed by the enemies of the revolution: “Camilo held a sacred loyalty. He was loyal to Fidel, who, like no one else, embodies the will of the people, and to the people themselves. The people and Fidel are one.
