Vietnam War Remnants Museum-Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City)

- The War Remnants Museum in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) features photographic exhibits and war memorabilia from the Vietnam War and the story is told from the point of view of the Communist North Vietnamese government. As I say in the video, it's best not to eat before viewing some of the photographs, which can be quite graphic.
The museum originally opened in 1975 as the "Exhibition House for US and Puppet Crimes" located in the premises of the former United States Information Agency building. In 1990, the name changed to Exhibition House for Crimes of War and Aggression, dropping both "U.S." and "Puppet." In 1995, following the normalization of diplomatic relations with the United States and end of the US embargo from a year before, the references to "war crimes" and "aggression" were dropped from the museum's title as well; it became the "War Remnants Museum" It is one of the most popular museums in Vietnam, attracting approximately half a million visitors every year. According to the museum's own estimates, about two-thirds of these are foreigners.

The backwards magazine in the B.A.R always made me laugh whenever I visited that place
lmao I thought I was the only who noticed
@JohnGalt009 maybe a bit of backyard gunsmithing with a grinder, flat head screwdriver and a hammer
I noticed the FN FAL rifles. Does the museum cover the Australians and South Koreans ?
@@davidmulhall2710 No mention of the Frogs, eh?
They must have forced it in...a hammer is a marvelous tool.
The amount of equipment left behind or dumped in the ocean after the pull out of Siagon was staggering. Of course everything at that museum was real. My brother was told to dump everything on the way back to the States because none of it was needed. They pushed helicopters overboard every day.
Extremely rare grenade launcher at 2 min in.
There's nothing rare about a M79 China Lake 40 Mike Mike Grenade Launcher also called a Gerbil Launcher , Thump Gun or Blooper.
@@Texasmilitarydepartmentvid9654 That's not an M79
At the moment there is a China Lake for sale on gunbroker for $15K. Not bad considering M79's are going like $6-8K.
I think he’s talking about the weapons platform that was under the CAR-15’s. Looks like a belt fed 40 ‘mike mike of some sort and I really wanna know what it isZ
@@Texasmilitarydepartmentvid9654 50 original 1968 receivers, only four are known to still remain intact in museums in the U.S. and Vietnam. Late manufactured reproduction CSG/Trident China Lake Launchers are said to number at nine in total during a manufacturing run from 2003-2009. Total known China Lake Grenade Launchers is 13 with this information.

I'd say that's pretty rare.
Thanks for uploading this video me and my son absolutely enjoyed watching it .
You're welcome-thank you for watching.
Its unlikely I will ever see this myself, so I must thank you for the video. Remnants of a very sad war. Thanks for sharing it.
You're welcome, Karl.
OK .
Karl Aiken Not much to see, just A LOT of propaganda.
@MattMerica imagine russia bombing our country to shit and leaving chemical agents everywhere and they said you were spreading propaganda for holding a grudge against them
Leave it to the French to ruin everything. There was a time when Ho called the Viet Minh the "viet minh american army". The US was the first country to recognize Vietnamese independence and Ho quoted the US constitution in his independence speech. As well as having a American stand beside him during the speech. Ho wasn't a hardcore communist and very much wanted friendship with the US. If not for the French threatening to join the USSR if the US pushed for Vietnamese independence so many lives would have been saved and Vietnam would be a much more prosperous nation.
turkey2003 fact : Ho Chi Minh was de jure the leader of North Vietnam side , but since the 60s, he was ill and Le Duan was in charge of everything. Ho did not plan the invasion to the South, but Duan just screwed that, bloodbathing the Vietnamese who did not follow him and his army. North Vietnam won the war, but paid a very heavy price
@@ticluna5295 Reunification is Ho Chi Minh's last goal. Let's see how N and S Korea nowaday. Every movement they make, they have to watch America. So "independence" country
@@gomeo28 Did Germany need a single bullet for reunification ? Did the USA try to prevent them or something ? You talk as if USA wants those countries to be separated
@@gomeo28 As if China and Russia don't do anything in this mess
@@ticluna5295 And you can "as if" American don't jump in Vietnam when we wipe French out from our country in 1954. And if not, we just like Germany, Instead of 21 more years to reunification. I don't know how American people learn the reason for every war that America involved in, but see what you bring to Irag, Yemen, Afganishtan... Chemical Weapon? Democrazy? Did we, Vietnamese ask it from you guys? Did those, the poor people, the refugee from those country ask it? Ask for bomb drop on the homeland? You can know how us feel when you guys kill nearly 300 civilians in 3 minutes at Kham Thien Street.( 26/12/1972), look back to 11/9/2001. And that why we must wipe America from VietNam and reunificantion. Sr for my bad English. But you guys has been fool by your beloved country. The World's Police. How pathetic
Incredible footage. Thank you.
You are quite welcome!
glossed over the machine guns waaaayyy too fast. Those were captured M-60E1's , Colt CAR 15's and M16E1s.
A few BARs too.

The CAR 15’s and the “toe popper”mines look like kit from SOG recon men. Maybe we can find some information about POW’s. Jerry “mad dog” Shriver to name just one hero that never returned.
@cjhyde78 The CAR-15 is the name of the family of guns the XM-177 belongs to. All members of the CAR-15 family are pretty similar attempts at creating a carbine version of the M-16. If you refer to an XM-177 as a CAR-15, most people will at least have an idea of what you mean.
@cjhyde78 They essentially are, a lot of the CAR-15 family members are nearly identical

@@Jake-rs9nq disgusting how long that demon is living without ever facing justice
I spent about a week in Vietnam late 2019, this museum has got to have been one of the major highlights, along with the food, Cu Chi and the mountain town of Sapa up North. Would highly recommend 'Nam as a travel destination, whether or not you have an interest in military history you'll have a great time. This war remnants museum is a definite must visit in Saigon!
Man I'd love to go....it would be nice but sad at the same time knowing so so many of our young boys lost thier lives there.....and the Vietnamese too....the peasants caught in-between....so fucking sad...maybe it's best to not go...idk
@@user-oz3kj There aren't shooting ranges at the museum, but if you go to Cu Chi there's a firing range there where I got the chance to fire a Type 56 Chinese AK and a 'K45 Pistol' which I'm sure was just a Tula Tokarev 33 pistol. The guns are pretty worn out and inaccurate, but it's an experience if you live in Australia like me and don't really get the chance to play with fun things very often.
@@davidschmidt270 It's definitely worth going man, even if it's in remembrance. I'm from Australia, only 521 men died in the Vietnam war but it's still a tragedy, especially thousands of Vietnamese who died, but that's what happens when you're a communist in the 60's and 70's lmao..
@@user-oz3kj It was pretty bloody expensive - cost me about $100-120 USD to put 10 rounds through the AK and pistol. Fun experience though.

You're welcome-thanks for watching!
2:09 hand crankable grenade launcher. I could only imagine how satisfying that is to operate, its like a gatling gun that explodes !
lol
0:38, when you already won, but still want to make the enemy salty 🤣
2:58 nice pair of 1911's would love to have these.
@Hermann Goering maybe those 1911's saved a few lives.
@Hermann Goering we will never know.
I was a grunt on the dmz with 5th division from 69-71. I was issued a 1911 but never carried it, I left it at Quang Tri basecamp. It became so rusted in my footlocker they scrapped it and charged me $28.
I went in the Army in late 66. Did not go to Vietnam. A lot of my friends did and it left them with a lot of problems. I have used a lot of different types of weapons while in the army. I remember the fall of Vietnam in 75. I was in school at Fort Gordon Ga. And we felt so sad at that time. Now that was history and WE should learn from it. Wish we could have a better video of this history lesson. Thanks for it.
Thank you for your service!
Thank you for this video, awesome takes. I was waiting for a picture of John J. Rambo to appear on a Most Wanted poster like Jesse James or Billy the kid.
You're welcome.
BTW, Andy, everything you saw at the Museum is absolutely original and the real deal, as you probably realized by the end of the tour.
Yes, not sure why I said that.
Not too sure about the m16s they look off to me
@@upcomingcloudrapperluca7645 i think those are AR-15 which is shorter than M16.
Up coming cloud rapper luca yeah, the l19 birddog at the start isn’t a birddog... just painted like one lol
as far as i know the AR 15 only become civil either during or after the Vietnam war but you can be right about the weapon not being issue in the war.
I went to that museum not thinking what I'd see. I saw those graphic pictures, where it depicts the Americans as villains. Well, I guess we were. We didn't belong there. The graphic pictures of the affects of Agent Orange, etc. made me feel real weird and very sad inside. It put a big damper on my trip there. One thing I found out in Vietnam is that the Vietnamese people are very nice and generous. Go visit Vietnam, it is a beautiful country, filled with beautiful people.
Bruh you just said they depict us as villains. Hell no I’m not going over there. They don’t want us there
@@BayouBoy2443 - The Vietnamese people don't see us that way. The way the pictures were displayed, seemed to show us a villains. That was my interpretation. I've traveled there many times and never had a problem. They love it when Americans come to vacation there. The beaches are so nice. If you ever go there, go to Vung Tau. It's a fun, nice beach city. You'd love it.
@@briannolan7818 I guess. I know the Vietnamese don’t hold the war over our heads like the rest of the world does. I’m glad they forgive us and welcome us there now but I just don’t think I’d belong there
Would go there but it's a lot of propaganda you don't here about the communist war crimes and atrocious acts
@@BayouBoy2443 you belong everywhere don’t worry about them if they dont like you just ignore them and there are a lot of nice people out there.
I’ve been there,it’s a fantastic place to visit,the letter from a vet and his medals are on display,very powerful apology.
Even at my age it is surreal to see my country's militaria on display. What a disaster that we could have avoided, learning from France's involvement prior.

Good for her. "My country right or wrong" is one of the most ignorant and inexcusable statements I have come across and a licence for evil.
As for the gun, it's probably still in Hanoi
I would not recommend,she do that for ISIS,they might behead her, OUCH
Pretty sure most of the equipment being displayed, was South Vietnamese equipment that was left by the United States or supplied by them. It’s just cooler to paint US markings on them!
Rick Meredith paint McDonald, KFC and Starbucks is more appropriate because they are occupying Vietnam right now.
You are probably right, but I guess in their country they tell the story however they like. Ain't shit we can do about that.
When America left they got the fuck out and left alot of shit behind
America left plenty of equipment behind. But the point is to show examples of the American equipment so why not use the stuff they supplied the south Vietnamese army if there's still tons of it in great condition, I dont think there's any difference in this context. It's for educational purposes. Propaganda involved or not no one can deny America's holocaust in Vietnam. The vast majority of people have no interest in history and without a place like this to keep the information on display this would all be forgotten in time.
My exact thoughts as well
Where was the section on the Hanoi Hilton? How about the Jane Fonda anti-aircraft gun tour?
Or about what the north did to the south vietnamese when they took over. They killed plenty I'm sure.
Right next to the display of the concentration camps sorry internment camps set up for Japanese Americans during the 40s in America.

@abdulaziz abohelweh you are a hundred percent confused. The patriots who defended their country were the South Vietnamese soldiers headquartered out of Saigon. The traitors who attacked South Vietnam and fought to make Vietnam a Soviet colony were the ones who sadly conquered the country in 1975.
Been there. It’s amazing. Beautiful airplanes
Tuyệt vời. Good
I noticed the FN FAL rifles. Does the museum have anything in there about the Australians or the South Koreans ?
There are Koreans participated in the event back then as one of the Allies.
When I was in the Air Force my boss told me when we left Vietnam his squadron left behind 10 C 130s. The South Vietnamese Air Force only had four air crews?
@ 1:28 - WW2-era Bazooka. likely from French Indochina days, and at top are two of the single-shot/throwaway LAW 66mm launchers
@1;42 - M60A1 and M60 helicopter door gun machineguns (also a French/Indochina Czech MG not used my the US bottom left)
@ 1:49-1:52 - part/most of a US Minigun and some Browning 1919 Mg's
@1:54 - WW2-era BAR rifles, issued to S.Vietnamese. (Note there may have been a German MG42 there but you swung the cameral so fast you can't tell)
@ 1:58 - The "China lake" 3round pump 40mm grenade launcher for SEALS/Special Forces (Abov are 37mm tear gas launchers)
@ 2:06 - Australian Captured FN FAL rifles, just above an M79 'bloop-tube' grenade launcher
@ 2:08 - early US crank-fed 40mm grenade launcher, with early/rare M16 variants above it
@ 2:14 - M14's and an M16A1. Note that to the left is a display of submachineguns you missed, looked to have some interesting stuff in there
@ 2:57 - two M1911A1, 3 M1917 revolvers (I think) of same caliber, and underneath are two snub-nosed revolvers that would have been issued to CIA or Civilian contractors (The VN civilian being executed was show with a S&W in 38spcl)
Interesting stuff
Went there today it was amazing.
Just flying through the guns.Damn
What a fantastic museum! I would love to go there
Was there five years ago . Very interesting
Top left pistol at 2:58 appears to be a handmade Vietnamese copy of an m1911a1, but it may just be because the museum has made some "modifications" to make the pistol "safe" for public display.
I been here with my school like 5 week ago
You really should have shown the graphic photos. It shows just how awful war is. I cried when I saw them and took pictures. The government hides so much from us.

I’d wouldn’t step foot in there. Should be named the Jane Fonda American War Crimes Museum. I have too much respect for the Vietnam Veterans who died there and those who came home but were never welcomed back.
As a kid growing up watching the news I was so afraid, seeing bodies on tv from that alleged war, our hands were tied, couldn't bomb the north strategically, couldn't bomb laos where the ho chi min trail was strong, racist ideology from the u.s. high command, but to the 58,000 plus who died, RIP.

I saw this video and started watching only to realize that I visited that exact museum :D pretty neat huh
I’m Vietnamese, I understand the U.S war aggression and this was a museum’s but some of the portrays are not necessary needed. I know my country is still recovering from the war but seeing all of this is going to add more hate. I want to live in a generation of peace and no hatred but I don’t think that is ever going to happen
Keep in mind not all Vietnamese hate America, a lot of Vietnamese still look at the good side of America
Many Vietnamese are still grateful that we tried to help them defend their freedoms against the Communists. Hopefully Vietnam becomes a free country again someday like the South was before 1975.

I would of loved to go out of the 'tourist' area to explore more. I assume it's safe for that now? I really want to visit at some point, in my life. The EVP's would be amazing to record as well.
Lot of weapons most of those weapons were captured from the South Vietnamese army. The Vietcong were pretty smart, when it came to making weapons out of nothing, when I was in the Us Army in 1979 and was in A.I.T. At Fort Lee Virginia, in October of 1979, I was off duty one evening and went to the, Us Army,s Quartermaster museum I seen a homemade 20 Gage Shotgun That the Vietcong had made, from a piece of Galvanized Steel water pipe.it didn't look too bad you could tell it was homemade.my uncle was in the army 32 years and fought in Vietnam and three of my cousins on my mom's side of the family were Vietnam war army veterans.
Yep that’s all real stuff! The US gave the ARVN a huge pile of stuff during the war and we abandoned a lot of stuff that we didn’t want to ship back home.
Now show us the French war museum that went longer with greater losses on both sides.
That would be an eerie place to visit - so many ghosts
The majority of the weapons shown were taken from South Vietnamese troops.
Also from G.I too.
-museum includes My Lai massacre

That museum is quite biased it seems the picture where the man was being executed for whatever reason. Was actually reasonable since the guy was responsible for alot of deaths
he was captured during the attacks. he was a NVA carrying attacks and was executed by a south Vietnamese officer. He was not an innocent civilian.

It's just a famous photograph.
@@benzambrana3837 If he was an NVA and was captured, then he became a POW. Executing him was a crime
The story is that this man was a serial murder and was captured, which makes a lot of sense, since then he wasn't a POW but a simple prisoner
Wait what is under those colt commandos at 2:09? Never seen that weapons platform? Looks like it is set up for 40mm. Can anyone identify it for me?
It is a U.S. hand cranked grenade launcher
History is all ways written by the winners.
But one note did anyone check to see that the ordinance on display was disarmed ?
We probably paid for building the museum either directly or through help to Russia. Our unit captured Chi Com weapons in Cambodia that were made exactly like Russian weapons. Hell we probably paid for rebuilding Vietnam.

Lol are the Japanese not Asians it not about what colour you are there is three sides to a story but the only ones who can tell the true story are usually dead
I use to go every time I was in Saigon, the was a guillotine that was mobile left by the French, that they would take from town to town and execute trouble makers . Sometimes they drag it out sometimes not.
They probably still use it knowing Vietnam!
Those original along with what we have in storage.
70-71. I don't regret my service.
And you shouldn't. Thank you for your service!
Some people love war, suffering and killing babies.
71-72 I don't regret mine either.
Thanks you for your served, you save our family from communists.
It feels weird when America is on the losing side of a museum
Welcome to the world. You American will be suprise and have to question your history lesson
Eh I don’t know if I would classify either side as winner or loser. The US just got tired of fighting because the war was unimportant to them and the North Vietnamese ended up getting their way, but with incredible losses.
@@toshow237 they got their assess kicked and decided to step back.
@@kejsazizolli3608 for every American loss the Viet Cong had around 17 losses. The US destroyed the Vietnamese but insurgency warfare is unwinnable and the conflict would have lasted far longer than the US was committed too.
@@toshow237 US lost deal with it
I went there a few days ago not a single thing has changed from then.
Vung Tau has opened their museum now too, has war stuff there.
