LOS TÚNELES DE LA GUERRA DE VIETNAM | VIETNAM #9

We are going to visit the Kutsi tunnels here to the west of Ho Chi Minh City and we are going to visit unnels that were used during the Vietnam War by the Vietcong to hide from American troops In fact where we are now there was once an American base one of the most important ones where there were troops deployed and beneath them there were several levels of tunnels tha The Vietcong the communist forces of Vietnam the ones they were fighting against the ones From the north they made a network of tunnels where they lived to protect themselves from the bombs for shootings and other things and also to set traps for the Americans And we are going to enter some of those tunnels I am going to show you which ones they are and we will go in In some of them but they are specially prepared for tourists because the Vietnamese were very small and so they made them perfectly to fit They couldn't because no American was ever able to get into one of those tunnels because they were so narrow or because of the traps they set Wow My God Are you going to Cambodia Wow That 's great We have now entered one of the tunnels as you have seen the first one in which we have already e tapas that is it's very cool because the entrance is quite narrow but the The tapas look as if they completely blend in with the rest of the ground so it's very good Then I went into a tunnel too but of course you hardly go in and there's nothing to do but it's really cool One of the biggest problems the Vietnamese had here when hiding in the tunnels was the air and indeed you can see some piles they used as From termites to make tiny microscopic holes and breathe through them And then they also had a way out to the river to be able to escape and it's crazy All of this Oh the Americans were entering the tunnels but as I've told you they only went in as far as The first level then they used dogs to locate them and to smell them and then the Vietnamese started using American soap they stole so that they could Dogs won't recognize you meaning some serious trouble and then you end up in this situation From everything that happened it just leaves a bad feeling plus you hear guys talking about it In the distance because here you can pay more and they let you shoot real guns the You're here in the middle of the jungle you hear the shots and as they tell you the story you get even more into what it was They will have to open their arms be resurrected and open their arms again This is very painful Can you imagine it See It's a rule In a Caesar slide when a dog slides like this and immediately slides again Ah for example he was bored We have been shown a few trap styles they used which you are going to see now Damn they're shooting here And it's crazy I mean the ingenuity they used to kill people seems unbelievable We are entering a tunnel here it's 100 meters long so if you are claustrophobic don't go in because there's hardly any space We need to go here crouched down And the heat is inhumane What's costing me is recording and having the camera and all this It's well worth the experience to go into the tunnels obviously it's completely Optional they can be made up to 100 meters which is what we have done and it makes you see a little claustrophobic feeling that people had here when they had to be here bu Let's get back to our normal lives because were here they had everything inside to sleep and more And this what we have done as I told you before has widened for the tourists while for the Vietnamese it was much narrower Then it becomes hard to imagine
