	Massacre at Hue - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Massacre at Huế is the name given to describe the summary executions and mass killings that occurred during the Viet Cong and North Vietnam's capture, occupation and withdrawal from the city of Huế during the Tet Offensive, considered one of the longest and bloodiest battles of the Vietnam War.
		Commonly referred to as the Tet Offensive, this period of several weeks is generally regarded as a military failure, but a psychological victory for the Northern forces, as this marked a sharp turning point in American sentiment and support for the war effort.
		In November 1974, when a documentary film produced by South Vietnamese reporters about the Tet Offensive was shown to an American audience of more than 200 US Army officers in Fort Benning, Georgia, almost no one in the audience had ever heard of the full details of the atrocity.

		In spite of a conditional Tet truce unilaterally declared by the Communists, many in the U.S. and ARVN commands thought there would be a reprise of the attacks that had occurred all over South Vietnam in 1968, but the 1969 Tet passed with little additional activity.
		Tet 1969 was practically missed by the media.
		Yet the Tet 1969 attack at Cu Chi, where I was stationed at the time, was a memorable engagement.

	Tet Offensive - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The offensive began spectacularly during celebrations of the Lunar New Year, and sporadic operations associated with the offensive continued into 1969.

	The History
		The fighting spirit of the North Vietnamese and Vietcong was extreme; they would rather die than give in to an outside invader, who was oppressing them and preventing their county from being united again.
		The US soldiers, mostly young men between 18 and 24 years old, whose numbers peaked at almost 550,000 in 1969, were struggling to cope with the psychological strain of fighting against an enemy who was difficult to find and destroy, and who seemed to just disappear into the jungle.
