SAIGON WAR REMNANTS MUSEUM HO CHI MINH CITY VIETNAM HISTORY

VV 2004 TRIP The emotional highlight of a stay in Ho Chi Minh was a visit to its War Museum. "I went to this incredible war museum which I really want to mention because I want to promote them. It's a phenomenal museum." The war museum in Ho Chi Minh City used to be a Buddhist pagoda destroyed by the French soldiers when the American War or the Vietnamese War was the French War following the World War. There was a variety of the weaponry displayed in the museum and used against the Vietnamese people during the war. On display was a guillotine left over from the French War which had actually been used in the sixties by the Americans on suspected Viet Cong. In addition there was napalm, huge tanks, artillery guns, anti-artillery guns and anti-personnel weapons (such as bombs that resemble oranges or pineapples.) There were land shaking bombs which, while never exploding would be dropped from the sky and float to the earth using an umbrella like device. After landing they would shake the ground for a radius of 3km, knocking down village huts and even making people ill with nausea. http://www.may41970.com/Your%20Story/Bill%20Arthrell's%20Vietnam/Narrativ...
