Operation “Vietnam” the first repatriation transport of Czechoslovaks from Vietnam to their homeland

Summary/Abstract: The activity of Czechoslovak soldiers in the wars in Indochina and Vietnam is uncovered in a study by Ladislav Kudrna. The author closely surveys the fate of some Czechoslovak foreign legionnaires who fought under a different country’s fl ag, suff ered, died and, in many cases, ended up in captivity. The repatriation of these captives back to their homeland and their exploitation for propaganda purposes comprises an important part of the entire study. Nonetheless, its main benefit is the light it throws on the unknown destinies and contributions of Czechoslovaks in conflicts on the other side of the world.
