Vietnam...Grim memories of the past ! Inside War Museum.

At the ticket office of the War Museum complex, I asked the young man dressed in green fatigues similar to the NVA ( North Vietnamese Army during the war ) if I could use my camera to snap pictures. He replied to me in Mandarin as he could not speak a word of English that it was permitted. Inside and outside. So I began to click away.
All the photos are from my camera.
The complex is quite huge. Mounted on the outside grounds are captured tanks, AA guns, planes, field artillery, helicopters, etc...from the American forces who departed in chaos and panic back in April 1975.
This section below shows the imprisonment, torture and killing system before 1975, during the
Vietnam War.

[ One victim of the system ]

[The Guillotine - for beheading prisoners]

[After the head is severed from the body, the head drops]

[ onto the box placed below. ]

[ Actual "Tiger Cages"...can you imagine the prisoner confined within? ]

There is no room for a prisoner to sit, kneel or even squat.

So what sort of position can the victim assume?

Obviously lying supine or in a crouched position just like wounded and

frightened animals kept in cages, awaiting slaughter.
