Oh my God unblievable this is real footage of the battle now we can see it on yourtube.
Love Vietnam ..an amazing country
Mad lads
Magnificent footage. France messed with the wrong country and got their behinds handed to them.
Vietnamese is great nation because they defeated France in 1954 and USA in 1975 and stopped Chinese invasion in 1979 Ho Chi Minh and Vo Nguyen Giap were great heroes of Vietnam
Vietnam had to fight so many countries and still won the war. mad respect to those lads.
Thank for your preciuos video ! We love Cu Ho sodiers. ❤🇻🇳. We love Ho Chi Minh President💞. We love General Giap 🇻🇳
This was a total war of attrition. I know this is the French but had the US just bombed Vietnam, it would of been over within a weekends time.
History is hard on France. General Giap went on to beat the Americans a few years later.
the french knew perfectly well how many viet minh were there. it was part of their utter arrogance that they dismissed the vietnamese ability to fight a staged conflict.
🇻🇳 VIỆT NAM 🇻🇳 – I LOVE YOU❤

I LOVE that narration at 0:30, "… who got it from the United States"! The literature of the time seems to say that the Chinese Communists got most of their arms from the Kuomintang, which meant a lot came from US! I always think badly of the French for trying to maintain the colonial system AFTER what THEY experienced in the War! And then what the hell were WE thinking? Well, I know what. Now that people go there for vacations, it seems crazy mean and wrong in retrospect. Is this the greatest story of LIBERATION in history? In the top ten? Not my field.
Tran danh hay nhat dien bien phu
Toda mi admiración y respeto al valeroso pueblo Vietnamita !!!!!!
France did imperialsm everywhere
I LOVE VN 🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳
France : We will hold on to Vietnam
Viet : yeah right.
Historian: France defeated.
สมควรตายฝรั่งเศษผู้ไม่รู้จักพอสมนำ้สมเนื้อคับ
From the French, to Ike, Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon. The Viet Minh became the Viet Cong.
After WWI, the League of Nations turned their back on a young Vietnamese man, by the name of Ho Chi Minh who requested help and aid for the young struggling government.
The Vietnamese love peace, so they have the tenacity and indomitable to stand up and fight
What happened to the French POWs?
France Not miss calculations it's just plain stupid
With 25000 dead
I wouldn't keep prisoners to be fair
