50 years ago: eyewitnesses of Saigon’s downfall

Date:

At the end of the American Vietnam War (1955-1975) there were chaos, hysteria and bare horror. “Krone” expert Kurt Seinitz was up close in the sinking of Saigon. Ultimately, a resurrection must follow …

The SOS Children’s Village was on the edge of the airport of Saigon Airport Tan Son Nhut, then the largest military base in the world. The Quoll over Warps.

At the end of March, the American evacuation flights for their South Vietnamese Civil Staff and their families from the big bases Nang and Khe San started back to Saigon. Human grapes clinged to the enormous transport machines in panic. Some managed to get into gear. The unfortunate frozen frozen in the chassis shafts. At the approach of Saigon, they fell on the runway as human nodules ice cream and switched into a thousand pieces. Such a face never comes out of your head again.
