Overview:

During November 1953, the French High Command in Indochina decided to seize Dien Bien Phu valley in an operation code named Castor. On the 20th of November, two battalions of French paratroopers, reinforced a short time later by a third battalion, descended on Dien Bien Phu. One, the sixth Colonial Parachute Battalion, landed near the village of Dien Bien Phu. After regrouping from their drop they began to move on the village. The French were not alone in the valley, however. The 148th Regiment of the People's Army of Vietnam were lying in wait. Operation Castor now began in earnest.
