The Vietnam war is over: Saigon gives in with a sigh of relief – archive, 1975
1 May 1975: The South Vietnamese government unconditionally surrenders to communist forces
The 30 years old Vietnam war is over. The Saigon government today unconditionally surrendered to communist forces, ordering its soldiers to hand over their weapons to Liberation troops. It was a scene some had never expected to see and others had tried to imagine but never succeeded in envisaging. The North Vietnamese and the Vietcong rolled into Saigon just after noon.
