When Che was told he was about to be killed, he was asked by a CIA operative (Rodríguez) if he wished to send a final message. He reportedly had two:
One was to Fidel Castro:
“Dile a Fidel que pronto verá una revolución triunfante en América”
(“Tell Fidel that there will soon be a triumphant revolution in America”)
The second was to his wife, Aleida March:
“Dile a mi señora que se case otra vez y que trate de ser feliz”.
(“Tell my wife to remarry and try to be happy.”)
Reportedly he also said to his executioner: “shoot, you’ll only kill a man.“
