Description

Julian Manyon presents an eyewitness report from Vietnam, on the capture of Saigon by Viet Cong troops (30/04/75). He tells how soldiers and photographers made a carefully choreographed entrance to the city and hoisted their banner; he says troops were assertive but calm and well-disciplined and did not harass foreigners.
