Скачать или смотреть The First Tank Attack on U S Special Forces Lang Vei, 1968

The Battle of Lang Vei stands as one of the most shocking and overlooked moments of the Vietnam War. In February 1968, during the chaos of the Tet Offensive, U.S. Special Forces at the remote Lang Vei camp faced the unthinkable: the first North Vietnamese tank assault ever launched against American troops in the conflict.

Outnumbered, surrounded, and facing Soviet-built PT-76 tanks crashing through their perimeter, the Green Berets and their Montagnard CIDG allies fought a desperate, all-night battle for survival. This is their story—told in vivid detail, reconstructed from eyewitness accounts, declassified reports, and historical records.

In this episode of Vietnam War Debrief, we break down:
• The surprise arrival of North Vietnamese armor on the battlefield
• How Special Forces fought back with LAWs that failed to fire
• The brutal close-quarters fighting inside the camp
• The heroic stand of Captain Frank Willoughby and his A-Team
• The harrowing escape attempts through enemy lines
• The devastating aftermath—and why Lang Vei is still debated today

If you’re fascinated by Special Forces operations, Vietnam War history, or incredible stories of courage under fire, this deep-dive is for you.
