Historical Date: April 17, 1961
New details of the invasion have just arrived. Today at eleven, Fidel Castro issued a Statement on the countries national radio (He control all means of communication throughout the country) that said that men from the Cuban revolutionary front have invaded Cuba and have come to take away the dignities and rights of the Cuban Citizens. This was a very good move on Castro's part. One of the main ways the American Government was hoping to get most of the military support was through the Cuban people joining the force once they were in the Bay of Pigs. Now that Castro has issued a Statement that these people have come to take away rights of the Cubans, the Cuban people will turn against the invasion force and help Castro. We have also learned that Osvaldo RamÃrez (the rural resistance to Castro leader) was captured and promptly executed. We also had five bombers that were ready to take off but were grounded because of bad weather and bad visibility. Many people in the administration have said that these were excuses to hide the fear of anti- air craft weapons that the Cubans had stationed around the perimeter of the Island. The first day of attacks has gone horribly wrong.
Pictured below is a picture of the invasion.
