Dien Bien Phu

From inside DBP “Final success belongs to him who holds out to the last moment. I am convinced it will be the valorous soldiers of DeCastries who will hold out to the last moment.” Navarre 4/54 “I’m going to kick General Giap’s teeth in, one by one.” DeCastries 4/54 “I am determined to prolong resistance of Dienbienphu as long as possible.” Navarre 4/54 “We can keep fighting for only ten more minutes. Shall we surrender?” Outpost commander 5/54 “The Viets are infiltrating massively through strongpoints in the west. The central fort is about to be fully overrun. Further resistance is becoming hopeless. This may finish us.” DeCastries 5/54 “We will fight to the end. Au revoir, mon general. Au revoir, mes camarades. Viva la France!” DeCastries 5/54 Vietminh to French officer: “C’est fini?” “Oui, c’est fini,” replied the colonel.
