Quote
  • ...although the operation does not appear to have been successful in all its objectives, 600 Viet Minh soldiers were killed or wounded, and 900 others were captured. Important stocks of paddy were found, but the number of arms captured was not as great as expected; it is thought that: the Viet Minh soldiers, on finding themselves surrounded, threw their weapons into the rice fields and swamps.
  • ...ten infantry regiments, two airborne battalions, the bulk of three armored regiments, one squadron of armored launches and one armored train, four artillery battalions, thirty four transport aircraft, six reconnaissance aircraft and twenty two fighter bombers, and about twelve Navy ships, including three LST's—this force was not inferior in size to come of those used in landing operations in World War II in the pacific.
