Ho Chi Minh and the Declaration of Independence
Video

Ho Chi Minh, took inspiration from the U.S. Declaration of Independence when he drafted the Vietnamese Declaration of Independence. Archimedes Patti from the U.S. Office of Strategic Intelligence (OSS) relied upon Viet Minh intelligence and logistics to track and to disrupt Japanese activities in Vietnam. Once the Japanese surrendered, Patti was invited by Ho Chi Minh to attend and comment upon the Vietnamese Declarations of Independence.

Excerpts from 1981 Interview by Martin Smith (WGBH) with former Office of Strategic Services (OSS) Major Archimedes Patti, who during World War Two provided support to the Vietnamese Resistance (Viet Minh) under the command of Ho Chi Minh fighting the Japanese occupation.
