Leave it to the French to ruin everything. There was a time when Ho called the Viet Minh the "viet minh american army". The US was the first country to recognize Vietnamese independence and Ho quoted the US constitution in his independence speech. As well as having a American stand beside him during the speech. Ho wasn't a hardcore communist and very much wanted friendship with the US. If not for the French threatening to join the USSR if the US pushed for Vietnamese independence so many lives would have been saved and Vietnam would be a much more prosperous nation.

I went to that museum not thinking what I'd see. I saw those graphic pictures, where it depicts the Americans as villains. Well, I guess we were. We didn't belong there. The graphic pictures of the affects of Agent Orange, etc. made me feel real weird and very sad inside. It put a big damper on my trip there. One thing I found out in Vietnam is that the Vietnamese people are very nice and generous. Go visit Vietnam, it is a beautiful country, filled with beautiful people.
@@BayouBoy2443 - The Vietnamese people don't see us that way. The way the pictures were displayed, seemed to show us a villains. That was my interpretation.

I spent about a week in Vietnam late 2019, this museum has got to have been one of the major highlights, along with the food, Cu Chi and the mountain town of Sapa up North. Would highly recommend 'Nam as a travel destination, whether or not you have an interest in military history you'll have a great time. This war remnants museum is a definite must visit in Saigon!

I was a grunt on the dmz with 5th division from 69-71. I was issued a 1911 but never carried it, I left it at Quang Tri basecamp. It became so rusted in my footlocker they scrapped it and charged me $28.
I went in the Army in late 66. Did not go to Vietnam. A lot of my friends did and it left them with a lot of problems. I have used a lot of different types of weapons while in the army. I remember the fall of Vietnam in 75. I was in school at Fort Gordon Ga. And we felt so sad at that time. Now that was history and WE should learn from it. Wish we could have a better video of this history lesson. Thanks for it.

(Note there may have been a German MG42 there but you swung the cameral so fast you can't tell) @ 1:58 - The "China lake" 3round pump 40mm grenade launcher for SEALS/Special Forces (Abov are 37mm tear gas launchers) @ 2:06 - Australian Captured FN FAL rifles, just above an M79 'bloop-tube' grenade launcher @ 2:08 - early US crank-fed 40mm grenade launcher, with early/rare M16 variants above it @ 2:14 - M14's and an M16A1. Note that to the left is a display of submachineguns you missed, looked to have some interesting stuff in there @ 2:57 - two M1911A1, 3 M1917 revolvers (I think) of same caliber, and underneath are two snub-nosed revolvers that would have been issued to CIA or Civilian contractors (The VN civilian being executed was show with a S&W in 38spcl) Interesting stuff
Agreed. I think you would enjoy these two videos that I made at Cu Chi Tunnels: ruclips.net/video/QOfmvm0b7Lo/видео.html ruclips.net/video/gyZ7cUp-O-4/видео.html
Top left pistol at 2:58 appears to be a handmade Vietnamese copy of an m1911a1, but it may just be because the museum has made some "modifications" to make the pistol "safe" for public display.
When I was in the Air Force my boss told me when we left Vietnam his squadron left behind 10 C 130s. The South Vietnamese Air Force only had four air crews?
In our museum we have military outfit area and there’s the highly geared soldiers from past wars and then you see a Vietnamese soldier who has farmer outfits and a hay hat carrying a gun
That museum is quite biased it seems the picture where the man was being executed for whatever reason. Was actually reasonable since the guy was responsible for alot of deaths
Poor police chief that killed that communist agent in that photo had his life ruined because of that photo. Shows how destructive a picture taken out of context can be.
You really should have shown the graphic photos. It shows just how awful war is. I cried when I saw them and took pictures. The government hides so much from us.
My tour guide gave me a certain amount of time to see the museum before we moved on to see our next destination so that's why it seemed a little rushed.
I’m Vietnamese, I understand the U.S war aggression and this was a museum’s but some of the portrays are not necessary needed. I know my country is still recovering from the war but seeing all of this is going to add more hate. I want to live in a generation of peace and no hatred but I don’t think that is ever going to happen Keep in mind not all Vietnamese hate America, a lot of Vietnamese still look at the good side of America
Many Vietnamese are still grateful that we tried to help them defend their freedoms against the Communists. Hopefully Vietnam becomes a free country again someday like the South was before 1975.
@Gods Armor well certainly I’m overseas Vietnamese that is living in Europe, What do you want me to say if I’m not Vietnamese citizen anymore? Be toxic as long as you like, I’m a person that want to see the future than to argue with somebody over the internet. This is my final responds to you and have a great day.
@@tedmccarron Vietnam is still free, indeed Vietnam is communist, but we are not like North Korea or China that fill the the education system with propaganda against the West. Trust me bro, i have friends live in Hanoi and they were taught about the good side of the west than little amount of negativity of the west. Like I said, Vietnam doesn’t use propaganda against the West. Yes there will be some people that hold hatred but those people are history sensitive At this point Vietnam hold very negativity against China now
@Shinshocks certainly the relationship did improved a lot than before. My people we forgive but not forget. Only the weak hold the past while the strong move forward
I’d wouldn’t step foot in there. Should be named the Jane Fonda American War Crimes Museum. I have too much respect for the Vietnam Veterans who died there and those who came home but were never welcomed back.
As a kid growing up watching the news I was so afraid, seeing bodies on tv from that alleged war, our hands were tied, couldn't bomb the north strategically, couldn't bomb laos where the ho chi min trail was strong, racist ideology from the u.s. high command, but to the 58,000 plus who died, RIP.
+G.S. Kim All the free nations that were involved in that war don't need to acknowledge the atrocities that happened there because your leaders will bend the truth the same way starling did in ww 11 Your way of life is ruled by dictator's
Colin H Wait, so you're saying you don't deny the "free nations" who went all the way to Vietnam from their home countries were responsible for committing atrocities? By the way, was one of those "free nations" South Korea under the leadership of Park Chung Hee? Funny, I thought he ran a military dictatorship and had dissenters kidnapped, tortured, and killed. Hmm. Not too bright, are you? Perhaps someday the Asians will invade the western world, commit atrocities and then later say, "when will these white people admit the atrocities they committed against us on their own land?" lol Silly white people.
Lol are the Japanese not Asians it not about what colour you are there is three sides to a story but the only ones who can tell the true story are usually dead
Do they still have the airmen’s boots with blown out eyelets on it? I think it was explained that this is what happens in a high speed impact with the ground implying that the leg exited the boots forcefully with great velocity.
We probably paid for building the museum either directly or through help to Russia. Our unit captured Chi Com weapons in Cambodia that were made exactly like Russian weapons. Hell we probably paid for rebuilding Vietnam.
Yep that’s all real stuff! The US gave the ARVN a huge pile of stuff during the war and we abandoned a lot of stuff that we didn’t want to ship back home.
At 0:13 the light blue hi wing tail dragger looks like a C185. I stand to be corrected but I do not believe the USAF operated C185's. I know the Aussies operated C180's in Vietnam.
I use to go every time I was in Saigon, the was a guillotine that was mobile left by the French, that they would take from town to town and execute trouble makers . Sometimes they drag it out sometimes not.
I would of loved to go out of the 'tourist' area to explore more. I assume it's safe for that now? I really want to visit at some point, in my life. The EVP's would be amazing to record as well.

To clarify a lot of what they have is not American American but rather equipment sold to SVN. In their day it would've had SVN markings but since the narrative is that the war was against foreign invasion and not a civil war. The markings have been changed to be US Army, US air force etc.

Okayyyyyyyyyyyyy, everyone knows you are god of history and critism, so shut up and let the others enjoy the video. =_= By the way, for those who get the purposes of establish this museum wrong, the gorverment don't build hatred or anything, just a remant of the past. At school, history teacher teach their students about both side: good and bad of the communist party as well as the Ngo Dinh Diem and American gorverment, sutdents just take it as a history lession, no hatred or brain washing. You keep saying that we hide the past, but you are the conservative one. Enjoy the present, head to the future people, don't be a past slave.
the truth hurts, this IS a one sided display of the war 1965-1975, yes it has some good displays but a very poor history lesson to be learned, they made sure to depict the American fighting machine as a devil satan who had no regard for their enemy or civilians, but does not even come close to telling what the vietcong were like, but remember they are now a communist run country with communist flags everywhere and pictures of ho chi minh through out the city.....oh and what did you say about looking towards the future and not dwelling on the past.......yeah arent you an authority.
From the Vietnamese point of view to get a full understanding of situation you need to get both points of view so I'd like to visit that place to see the other half
All I could think about as the various items went by is the soldier who died using it. When the pictures on the walls were shown I wondered if they were given by americans for the museum or were they taken by spies during the war. The mannequin in uniform I just picture a NVA soldier stripping a dead soldier for it. I pray that wasn't the case but how did they get the uniforms? Sorry it hit a lot of nerves with me. My dad was in Vietnam and he never talked about it and as an adult knowing so much more about it I wish I could have taken him back to Vietnam as part of one of those healing journeys you see documentaries about.
Thank you for this video, awesome takes. I was waiting for a picture of John J. Rambo to appear on a Most Wanted poster like Jesse James or Billy the kid.
Lol I love how it was originally named a,erocan war crimes museum but they weren't the onto ones doing at crimes the Vietcong also did war crimes too such has killing civilians(people who generally sided with the Americans) and the NVA along with the Vietcong used torture and other horrible stuff to POWs.
I know right, the Vietcong also came to america to bomb the living shit out of the America Civillians, spray tons of chemical down into the America forest which made the ground unhabitable even until now. Their commanders even told their soldiers to shoot anything that moves on sight, civilian or not while on their helicopters. The Vietcong even supported the Pol pot regime and gave him a fking chair in the UN. And when the mighty American Soldiers came to stop the Pol pot regime, the Vietcong called them invaders and fking embargoed America. Damn, The Vietcong are truly evil monsters. America good communism bed

I went to that museum not thinking what I'd see. I saw those graphic pictures, where it depicts the Americans as villains. Well, I guess we were. We didn't belong there. The graphic pictures of the affects of Agent Orange, etc. made me feel real weird and very sad inside. It put a big damper on my trip there. One thing I found out in Vietnam is that the Vietnamese people are very nice and generous. Go visit Vietnam, it is a beautiful country, filled with beautiful people.

There are Koreans participated in the event back then as one of the Allies.
@ 1:28 - WW2-era Bazooka. likely from French Indochina days, and at top are two of the single-shot/throwaway LAW 66mm launchers
@1;42 - M60A1 and M60 helicopter door gun machineguns (also a French/Indochina Czech MG not used my the US bottom left)
@ 1:49-1:52 - part/most of a US Minigun and some Browning 1919 Mg's
@1:54 - WW2-era BAR rifles, issued to S.Vietnamese. (Note there may have been a German MG42 there but you swung the cameral so fast you can't tell)
@ 1:58 - The "China lake" 3round pump 40mm grenade launcher for SEALS/Special Forces (Abov are 37mm tear gas launchers)
@ 2:06 - Australian Captured FN FAL rifles, just above an M79 'bloop-tube' grenade launcher
@ 2:08 - early US crank-fed 40mm grenade launcher, with early/rare M16 variants above it
@ 2:14 - M14's and an M16A1. Note that to the left is a display of submachineguns you missed, looked to have some interesting stuff in there
@ 2:57 - two M1911A1, 3 M1917 revolvers (I think) of same caliber, and underneath are two snub-nosed revolvers that would have been issued to CIA or Civilian contractors (The VN civilian being executed was show with a S&W in 38spcl)

In our museum we have military outfit area and there’s the highly geared soldiers from past wars and then you see a Vietnamese soldier who has farmer outfits and a hay hat carrying a gun
That museum is quite biased it seems the picture where the man was being executed for whatever reason. Was actually reasonable since the guy was responsible for alot of deaths
he was captured during the attacks. he was a NVA carrying attacks and was executed by a south Vietnamese officer. He was not an innocent civilian.

@@benzambrana3837 If he was an NVA and was captured, then he became a POW. Executing him was a crime

the truth hurts, this IS a one sided display of the war 1965-1975, yes it has some good displays but a very poor history lesson to be learned, they made sure to depict the American fighting machine as a devil satan who had no regard for their enemy or civilians, but does not even come close to telling what the vietcong were like, but remember they are now a communist run country with communist flags everywhere and pictures of ho chi minh through out the city.....oh and what did you say about looking towards the future and not dwelling on the past.......yeah arent you an authority.

From the Vietnamese point of view to get a full understanding of situation you need to get both points of view so I'd like to visit that place to see the other half
All I could think about as the various items went by is the soldier who died using it. When the pictures on the walls were shown I wondered if they were given by americans for the museum or were they taken by spies during the war. The mannequin in uniform I just picture a NVA soldier stripping a dead soldier for it. I pray that wasn't the case but how did they get the uniforms? Sorry it hit a lot of nerves with me. My dad was in Vietnam and he never talked about it and as an adult knowing so much more about it I wish I could have taken him back to Vietnam as part of one of those healing journeys you see documentaries about.
