What the Army Reports Say About LZ Albany

📍On November 17, 1965, the 2nd Battalion, 7th Cavalry marched through the Ia Drang Valley toward a clearing called LZ Albany and walked straight into a North Vietnamese ambush in the tall elephant grass. Within hours the column was cut apart, whole companies were surrounded, and more than 150 Americans were killed in one of the bloodiest single days of the Vietnam War. Using animated maps, battalion reports and the accounts of the men who survived, this documentary follows the battle as it unfolded. - - 📚 Every story shared on TalesFromNam is told with profound respect for those who lived through the Vietnam War.
