Cool.

I like the part when the elephant was pushing the broke down truck.

which part from the video is it?
it is a lot of german texts I will need sometime to translate all. too busy right now. peter scholl-latour was one of the most famous german reporters of vietnam war, covering stories of vietnam going to wars against france, america and china.

the video 1/5 featured scenes of final period of the vietnam war, in the sommer of 1973. we remmember, two months after the signing of the Vietnam peace agreement in Paris, the last U.S. combat troops left South Vietnam. North Vietnam released the remaining American prisoners of war (POW). The US armed forces direct eight-year intervention in the Vietnam War came at an end. some 7,000 U.S. civilian employees remained behind to aid South Vietnam in conducting what looked to be a fierce and ongoing war with communist North Vietnam.

Peter Sholl-Latour knew Vietnam very well since the days of the French colonial period. here he reported of his 8 day being captured by the vietcong, when he and his team were on the highway 13 to cambodian border. Peter spoke to a north vietnamese propaganda officer, and interviewed a bit. both in english and vietnamese.

Wow thanks bro. I thought it was a planned visit, not that they were captured. In one of the clip, I could hear one of the VC officer saying “we welcome our international friends...”. They looked very relaxed and calm lol. Very interesting.

the vietcong stopped peter and his crew when they unintentionally crossed an area close to cambodia border, not under the control of south vietnamese troops. peter was interrogated, but it was an impossible thing, as the vietcong did not speak english. nor german. a english translator came later. at the beginning the german crew was suspected as enemy.

a bit like Technical but well the Hummer is the civillian verison of Humvee so i guess this will be good enough for scouting around the battlefield
