To counter the technical superiority of the United States, the Vietcong made use of a tunnel system, which allowed them to appear and disappear almost anywhere on the battlefield. While the upper tunnels served as communication routes, the lower levels housed entire military hospitals, supply depots and training facilities. Since the tunnel system, which spread over hundreds of miles, was too complex to be destroyed with bombs, infantry soldiers had to descend into the unknown darkness themselves. Before doing so, they took off their equipment and armed themselves only with a pistol. Booby traps or Viet Cong could be waiting behind every turn. On top of that soldiers risked suffocation, getting lost or being buried alive in a tunnel collapse. More than a third of the 600 tunnel rats died during their dangerous mission. Nevertheless, the tunnel rats successfully disrupted the enemy in their safe retreat, gathered information and were able to blow up parts of the tunnel system. #Vietnam #VietnamWar #TunnelRats _ Our Voiceover: Music: Secret Weapon (licensed via Artlist) *As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases
