	Ernesto "Che" Guevara (1928 – 1967) Argentine Marxist revolutionary, doctor, author, guerrilla leader, diplomat, and military theorist. An important figure of the Cuban Revolution, his iconic face is a ubiquitous countercultural symbol of leftist rebellion. Regrettably (as with the hugely popular "X" ball cap for Malcolm X), many wear his image yet know little about the man or what he stood for. Edited by Peter - January 12 2018 at 03:32

	Heinz Guderian (1888 - 1954) German WW2 general, developer and advocate of "blitzkrieg" tactics, commander of Panzer (tank) divisions during the invasions of Poland, France, and the Soviet Union. Frequently clashed with Hitler and the German high command. An effective, innovative commander, he was not an absolute Nazi scumbag or war criminal, it seems. After the war, Guderian was a prisoner of U.S. forces and investigated until his release without charges in 1948. He was often invited to speak to British veterans' groups.
