Triumph

A triumph of Vietnamese resolve and intelligence

A triumph of Vietnamese resolve and intelligence

At 5.30pm on May 7, 1954, the “Determined to Fight, Determined to Win” flag of the Vietnam People’s Army was raised on the top of the command bunker of French General De Castries, marking the end of 56 days and nights of steadfast, brave, and ingenious fighting by our soldiers and people. The Dien Bien Phu Campaign was a complete victory - a triumph that “resounded across the five continents and shook the world.”
