The Cuban rebels' attack on the armoured train in Santa Clara has been given a new found fame recently due to the first part of Steven Soderberg's two part biopic of Che' Guevara. This gave our tour of the battlefield (complete with original wreckage and recreations) a new twist as the guide was keen to point out the historical inaccuracies of the film. I wouldn't have wanted to be Steven Soderberg at the films Cuban premiere when some of the original combatants showed up and started pointing out where they were actually standing slightly to the right of at no point crouched down during the course of the battle. An example of the inaccuracies in the film, was that the train is only five carriages long, seventeen less than the actual number. This detail may seem petty but when it was explained that these twenty two carriages full of soldiers, weapons and ammunition was captured by only twenty three men, it does sound far more impressive. Although the photograph of Batista's soldiers when they realised they had just surrendered to a handful of bearded, cigar smoking guerrillas a fraction of their own number indicates that they did not appreciate the audacity of the plan. One of the surprising details of the attack on the armoured train is that despite derailing a train by ploughing up the tracks and prolonged gunfire afterwards there were no fatalities in the incident, something that pleased the pacifist wing of the delegation. The location of such a historic monument in the heart of the town, in the original place where the battle took place helps to keep history alive in Cuba and helps to keep the sense of revolution an ongoing process even fifty years after the fall of Batista.
