Image title
Vietnam: Indistinct but historically significant pictures of Vo Nguyen Giap and Ho Chi Minh with American OSS officers including Lieutenant Colonel Peter Dewey, OSS Vietnam (centre), c. 1945
Auto-translated text View Original Source
Image description

Dewey arrived on September 4, 1945 in Saigon to head a seven-man OSS team 'to represent American interests' and collect intelligence. Working with the Viet Minh, he arranged the repatriation of 4,549 Allied POWs, including 240 Americans, from two Japanese camps near Saigon, code named Project Embankment. Because the British occupation forces who had arrived to accept the Japanese surrender were short of troops, they armed French POWs on September 22 to protect the city from a potential Viet Minh attack. In taking control of the city, the French soldiers were quick to beat or shoot Vietnamese who resisted the reestablishment of French authority.
