The fall of Dien Bien Phu
The military cemetery It is the inner wall that is more sobering however cloistered and cool even in the heat and humidity of the day this is the Vietnamese version of the American “wall” on the Mall in Washington . It contains 7 000 names of the Viet Minh fighters who fell at the battle of Dien Bien Phu. Just like its Washington counterpart you see people looking for the names of their comrades and relatives and votive offerings are left for them. Vietnam-Dien Bien Phu.
