Hoa Lo Prison (Hanoi Hilton): Vietnam War POW Propaganda Piece

Watch the video in HD and full screen for best viewing! You can push play, then pause as the video loads, to see it uninterrupted.

The infamous Hanoi Hilton has been turned into a museum: Hoa Lo Prison Museum. The museum’s entire collection related to the Vietnam War has been spun into propaganda. At least the War Remnants Museum in Saigon, though also terribly one-sided, seems to present accurate information. The Hanoi Hilton Museum, though, is one big lie.

This video is running continuously at the museum, and makes it seem like American POWs were at a peaceful, relaxing camp retreat. It’s this kind of propaganda that made believers/traitors out of Jane Fonda and the like.

If you would like to know how prisoners were really treated, do some research. It won’t take much to figure out they were severely tortured.
