Vietnamese Entertainment
This photograph shows a lot more than the local population offering entertainment to foreign soldiers. In fact, this also serves as a photographic representation of how some relationships between foreign troops and local South Vietnamese women were. These men formed intimate relationships with local women, and even fathered some of their babies.
Operation Babylift
At the end of the Vietnam War in April 1975, the American government initiated “Operation Babylift”. The mission aimed to evacuate orphaned babies from South Vietnam by airplane and then put them up for adoption. Countries who then participated in the adoption segment were, France, Australia, West Germany, Canada and the United States.
