Forty days under fire. That's how long the Marines at Khe Sanh had been holding a remote Plateau in South Vietnam by February 1968. The ridges around them poured shell after shell into the base, smashing bunkers, shredding sandbags, and flooding trenches with mud. Blasts came from nowhere; every shadow hid a sniper's scope. Sleep came in stolen minutes between barrages. They knew 20,000 North Vietnamese soldiers surrounded them. They knew they were outnumbered three-to-one. What they couldn’t understand was why the final assault never came. A single coordinated attack could have overrun them in hours. The attack was coming, but Khe Sanh was just a decoy. - As images and footage of actual events are not always available, Dark Docs sometimes utilizes similar historical images and footage for dramatic effect.
