Военнопленные США во время войны во Вьетнаме

в США значительном количестве содержались в качестве военнопленных (военнопленных во Вьетнаме с 1964 по 1973 год Во время войны военнослужащие ) . большинство военнопленных времен Вьетнама были офицерами, большинство из них - летчики ВМФ, ВВС и морской пехоты; относительно небольшое количество военнослужащих также было взято в плен, а также один рядовой моряк ВМФ, старшина Дуг Хегдаль , который упал за борт с военного корабля. Большинство заключенных США были захвачены и удерживались в Северном Вьетнаме Народной армией Вьетнама (ПАВН); гораздо меньшее количество было захвачено на юге и удержано Вьетконгом ( ВК). Несколько мирных жителей США также находились в плену во время войны.

Тринадцать тюрем и лагерей использовались для содержания американских заключенных в Северном Вьетнаме, наиболее известной из которых была тюрьма Хоа Ло (по прозвищу «Ханой Хилтон»). Обращение и дальнейшая судьба американских военнопленных во Вьетнаме стали предметом всеобщего беспокойства в Соединенных Штатах, и сотни тысяч американцев носили браслеты для военнопленных с именами и датами пленения заключенных в тюрьму американских военнослужащих. [1]

Американские военнопленные в Северном Вьетнаме были освобождены в начале 1973 года в рамках операции «Возвращение домой» , ставшей результатом дипломатических переговоров, завершившихся военным вмешательством США во Вьетнаме. 12 февраля 1973 года началась репатриация первого из 591 американского заключенного, а обратные рейсы продолжались до конца марта. После операции «Возвращение домой» США по-прежнему числили около 1350 американцев военнопленными или пропавшими без вести и добивались возвращения примерно 1200 американцев, убитых в бою, но чьи тела не были обнаружены. [2] Этот пропавший без вести персонал станет предметом проблемы военнопленных и МВД войны во Вьетнаме .

Фазы захватов

[ редактировать ]

26 марта 1964 года первый военнослужащий США, заключенный в тюрьму во время войны во Вьетнаме, был схвачен недалеко от Куанг Тро , Южный Вьетнам, когда самолет наблюдения L-19/O-1 Bird Dog, которым управляли капитан Ричард Л. Уайтсайдс и капитан Флойд Джеймс Томпсон, был захвачен в плен. сбит огнем стрелкового оружия. Уайтсайдс был убит, а Томпсон попал в плен; В конечном итоге он проведет в плену чуть меньше девяти лет, что сделает его самым продолжительным военнопленным в американской истории. Первым летчиком-истребителем, захваченным в Северном Вьетнаме, был лейтенант ВМФ (младший разряд) Эверетт Альварес-младший , который был сбит 5 августа 1964 года после инцидента в Тонкинском заливе . [3]

Американских пилотов продолжали захватывать на севере между 1965 и 1968 годами в рамках операции «Раскат грома» — продолжительной кампании воздушных бомбардировок Северного Вьетнама. После того, как президент Линдон Джонсон инициировал паузу в бомбардировках в 1968 году, количество новых захватов значительно сократилось, но снова возросло после того, как его преемник, президент Ричард Никсон , возобновил бомбардировки в 1969 году. Значительное количество американцев также было захвачено в ходе операции «Полузащитник» в период с мая по Октябрь 1972 года и операция «Полузащитник II» в декабре 1972 года, также известная как «Рождественские взрывы». Им предстояло самое короткое пребывание в плену.

Тяжелые годы лечения

Начиная с конца 1965 года, применение пыток к военнопленным в США стало ужесточением. [4] В течение первых шести лет содержания американских военнопленных в Северном Вьетнаме многие из них пережили длительные периоды одиночного заключения, при этом высокопоставленные руководители и особенно непокорные военнопленные были изолированы, чтобы предотвратить общение. Робинсон Риснер и Джеймс Стокдейл , два старших офицера, которые были фактическими лидерами военнопленных, содержались в одиночных камерах три и четыре года соответственно. Банда Алькатраса представляла собой группу из одиннадцати военнопленных, которых держали отдельно из-за их особого сопротивления похитителям.

Военнопленные широко использовали для связи прослушивающий код , который был введен в июне 1965 года четырьмя военнопленными, содержавшимися в Хоа Ло: капитаном Карлайлом «Смитти» Харрисом, лейтенантом Филлипом Батлером, лейтенантом Робертом Пилом и лейтенантом-коммандером Робертом Шумейкером . [5] Харрис запомнил кодекс из предыдущего обучения и научил ему своих сокамерников. Код был простым и легким для изучения, и его можно было преподавать без устных инструкций. Заключенные не только позволяли общаться между стенами, но и использовали код, сидя рядом друг с другом, но им запрещалось говорить, постукивая по телам друг друга. [6] На протяжении всей войны прослушивающий код играл важную роль в поддержании морального духа пленных, а также в сохранении сплоченной военной структуры, несмотря на попытки Северного Вьетнама нарушить цепочку командования военнопленных. [7] В периоды длительной изоляции прослушивающий код облегчал сложные мысленные проекты, направленные на сохранение рассудка заключенных. [8]

Американские военнопленные в Северном Вьетнаме подвергались жестоким пыткам и недоеданию во время своего плена. Хотя Северный Вьетнам подписал Третью Женевскую конвенцию 1949 года , [9] которые требовали «достойного и гуманного обращения» с военнопленными, применялись жестокие методы пыток, такие как пытки водой , страппадо (известные военнопленным как «веревки»), [10] irons, beatings, and prolonged solitary confinement.[9][11][12] The aim of the torture was usually not acquiring military information.[11] Rather, it was to break the will of the prisoners of war, both individually and as a group.[11][13] The goal of the North Vietnamese was to get written or recorded statements from the prisoners that criticized U.S. conduct of the war and praised how the North Vietnamese treated them.[11] Such POW statements would be viewed as a propaganda victory in the battle to sway world and U.S. domestic opinion against the U.S. war effort.[11][14]

During one such event in 1966, then-Commander Jeremiah Denton, a captured Navy pilot, was forced to appear at a televised press conference, where he famously blinked the word "T-O-R-T-U-R-E" with his eyes in Morse code, confirming to U.S. intelligence that U.S. prisoners of war were being harshly treated. Two months later, in what became known as the Hanoi March, 52 American POWs were paraded through the streets of Hanoi before thousands of North Vietnamese civilians. The march soon deteriorated into near riot conditions, with North Vietnamese civilians beating the POWs along the 2 miles (3.2 km) route and their guards largely unable to restrain the attacks.[15]

In the end, North Vietnamese torture was sufficiently brutal and prolonged that nearly every American POW so subjected made a statement of some kind at some time.[16] As John McCain later wrote of finally being forced to make an anti-American statement: "I had learned what we all learned over there: Every man has his breaking point. I had reached mine."[14] Only a small number of exceptionally resilient prisoners of war, such as John A. Dramesi, survived captivity without ever cooperating with the enemy; others who refused to cooperate under any circumstances, such as Edwin Atterbury, were tortured to death. James Stockdale, fearing that he might reveal details of the Gulf of Tonkin incident if tortured, attempted suicide, but survived; he never revealed this information to the enemy.[17] Under these extreme conditions, many prisoners of war's aim became merely to absorb as much torture as they could before giving in.[12] One later described the internal code the POWs developed, and instructed new arrivals on, as: "Take physical torture until you are right at the edge of losing your ability to be rational. At that point, lie, do, or say whatever you must do to survive. But you first must take physical torture."[18]

After making statements, the POWs would admit to each other what had happened, lest shame or guilt consume them or make them more vulnerable to additional North Vietnamese pressure.[12] Nevertheless, the POWs obsessed over what they had done, and would years after their release still be haunted by the "confessions" or other statements they had made.[19] As another POW later said, "To this day I get angry with myself. But we did the best we could. [We realize], over time, that we all fall short of what we aspire to be. And that is where forgiveness comes in."[19]

The North Vietnamese occasionally released prisoners of war for propaganda or other purposes. The POWs had a "first in, first out" interpretation of the Code of the U.S. Fighting Force, meaning they could only accept release in the order they had been captured, but making an exception for those seriously sick or badly injured. When a few captured servicemen began to be released from North Vietnamese prisons during the Johnson administration, their testimonies revealed widespread and systematic abuse of prisoners of war. Initially, this information was downplayed by American authorities for fear that conditions might worsen for those remaining in North Vietnamese custody.[14] Policy changed under the Nixon administration, when mistreatment of the prisoners was publicized by U.S. Secretary of Defense Melvin Laird and others.[14]

Later years

[edit]

Beginning in October 1969, the torture regime suddenly abated to a great extent, and life for the prisoners became less severe and generally more tolerable.[4][11][20] North Vietnamese leader Ho Chi Minh had died the previous month, possibly causing a change in policy towards POWs.[21] Many POWs speculated that Ho had been personally responsible for their mistreatment. Also, a badly beaten and weakened POW who had been released that summer disclosed to the world press the conditions to which they were being subjected,[14] and the National League of Families of American Prisoners and Missing in Southeast Asia heightened awareness of the POWs' plight.[22]

Despite several escape attempts, no U.S. POW successfully escaped from a North Vietnamese prison, although James N. Rowe successfully escaped from North Vietnamese captivity. On November 21, 1970, U.S. Special Forces launched Operation Ivory Coast in an attempt to rescue 61 POWs believed to be held at the Sơn Tây prison camp 23 miles (37 km) west of Hanoi. Fifty-six commandos landed by helicopter and assaulted the prison, but the prisoners had been moved some months earlier and none were rescued. While the raid failed to free any POWs and was considered a significant intelligence failure, it had several positive implications for American prisoners. The most immediate effect was to affirm to the POWs that their government was actively attempting to repatriate them, which significantly boosted their morale. Additionally, soon after the raid all acknowledged American prisoners in North Vietnam were moved to Hỏa Lò so that the North Vietnamese had fewer camps to protect and to prevent their rescue by U.S. forces.[23][24]

The post-raid consolidation brought many prisoners who had spent years in isolation into large cells holding roughly 70 men each. This created the "Camp Unity" communal living area at Hỏa Lò. The increased human contact further improved morale and facilitated greater military cohesion among the POWs.[14][24] At this time, the prisoners formally organized themselves under the 4th Allied POW Wing, whose name acknowledged earlier periods of overseas captivity among American military personnel in World War I, World War II and the Korean War. This military structure was ultimately recognized by the North Vietnamese and endured until the prisoners' release in 1973.[25]

Nevertheless, by 1971, some 30–50 percent of the POWs had become disillusioned about the war, both because of the apparent lack of military progress and what they heard of the growing anti-war movement in the U.S. and some of them were less reluctant to make propaganda statements for the North Vietnamese.[26] Others were not among them; there were defiant church services[27] and an effort to write letters home that only portrayed the camp in a negative light.[28] Such prisoners were sometimes sent to a camp reserved for "bad attitude" cases.[26]

At the "Hanoi Hilton", POWs cheered the resumed bombing of North Vietnam starting in April 1972, whose targets included the Hanoi area.[29] The old-time POWs cheered even more during the intense "Christmas Bombing" campaign of December 1972,[29][30] when Hanoi was subjected for the first time to repeated B-52 Stratofortress raids. Although its explosions lit the night sky and shook the walls of the camp, scaring some of the newer POWs,[30] most saw it as a forceful measure to compel North Vietnam to finally come to terms.[29]

North Vietnamese prisons

[edit]
Shortly after the war, ex-POW Mike McGrath annotated this detailed map of Hanoi to show the location of prisons. He did it so he would not forget where the camps were.

Of the 13 prisons used to incarcerate POWs, five were located in Hanoi, and the remainder were situated outside the city.[31]

  • Alcatraz. Located in north central Hanoi, Alcatraz was used to detain 11 particularly defiant American prisoners known as the Alcatraz Gang, including Jeremiah Denton, future U.S. Senator from Alabama, Sam Johnson, future U.S. Representative from Texas and James Stockdale, later a Vice Admiral and recipient of the Medal of Honor.
  • Briarpatch. The Briarpatch camp, located 33 miles (53 km) northwest of Hanoi, intermittently held U.S. prisoners between 1965 and 1971. Conditions at the Briarpatch were notoriously grim, even by the standards of North Vietnamese prisons. Multiple POWs contracted beriberi at the camp due to severe malnutrition.
  • Camp Faith. Located 9 miles (14 km) west of Hanoi, Camp Faith became operational in July 1970, when a major consolidation of U.S. prisoners began. At its peak, the population of Camp Faith was approximately 220 POWs. Three days after the Sơn Tây Raid, Camp Faith POWs were moved to Hỏa Lò prison in Hanoi.
  • Camp Hope, also known as Sơn Tây, was operational between 1968 and 1970, holding 55 POWs. The camp was closed following the Sơn Tây Raid.
  • Dirty Bird. Beginning in June 1967, several locations in the immediate vicinity of the Hanoi Thermal Power Plant were used to house POWs. Approximately 30 Americans were held at the Dirty Bird Camp, possibly in an attempt to prevent the bombing of the power plant. In October 1967, all prisoners held in Dirty Bird were removed to regular POW camps.
  • Dogpatch. The Dogpatch camp, located 105 miles (169 km) northeast of Hanoi, opened in May 1972, when 220 POWs were transferred there from Hỏa Lò prison. The camp ceased operation in early 1973, when the POWs were transferred to Hanoi for repatriation to the United States.
  • Farnsworth. Located 18 miles (29 km) southwest of Hanoi, Farnsworth became operational in August 1968, when 28 U.S. POWs captured outside North Vietnam were moved to this location. Over the next two years, several groups of POWs captured outside of North Vietnam were brought to the camp. Following the Sơn Tây Raid, Farnsworth's prisoner population was transferred to the Plantation Camp in Hanoi.
  • Hỏa Lò Prison, also known as the Hanoi Hilton. Located in downtown Hanoi, Hỏa Lò prison was first used by the French colonists to hold political prisoners in what was then French Indochina. The prison became operational during the Vietnam War when it was used to house Everett Alvarez, Jr., the first American pilot captured in North Vietnam. The prison was used without interruption until the repatriation of U.S. POWs in 1973.
  • Mountain Camp. The Mountain Camp, located 40 miles (64 km) northwest of Hanoi, became operational in December 1971, when one prisoner from Hỏa Lò and eight prisoners from Skidrow were moved to this location. This camp was used until January 1973 when its POW population was permanently moved to Hanoi for repatriation.
  • The Plantation. Located in northeast Hanoi, the Plantation opened in June 1967. It was a Potemkin village-style camp run by the North Vietnamese as a propaganda showplace for foreign visitors to see and as a preparation camp for prisoners about to be released. Physical mistreatment of prisoners was rarer than in other camps, but did occur to some Plantation prisoners.[32] The camp operated until July 1970, when a major consolidation of U.S. POWs occurred.
  • Rockpile. The Rockpile camp, located 32 miles (51 km) south of Hanoi, became operational in June 1971 when 14 Americans and foreign POWs captured outside North Vietnam were moved from Skidrow to the Rockpile. The camp was closed in February 1973, when its POWs were moved to Hanoi for repatriation.
  • Skidrow. The Skidrow camp, located 6 miles (9.7 km) southwest of Hanoi, became operational as a U.S. POW detention facility in July 1968, when U.S. civilian and military prisoners captured outside North Vietnam were moved there.
  • The Zoo. Located in the suburbs of Hanoi, the Zoo opened in September 1965 and remained operational until December 1970, when all U.S. prisoners were transferred to Hỏa Lò prison.

Post-war accounts

After the implementation of the 1973 Paris Peace Accords, neither the United States nor its allies ever formally charged North Vietnam with the war crimes revealed to have been committed there. Extradition of North Vietnamese officials who had violated the Geneva Convention, which they had always insisted officially did not bind them because their nation had never signed it, was not a condition of the U.S. withdrawal from South Vietnam and ultimate abandonment of the South Vietnamese government. In the 2000s, the Vietnamese government has held the position that claims that prisoners were tortured during the war are fabricated, but that Vietnam wants to move past the issue as part of establishing better relations with the U.S.[36] Bùi Tín, a North Vietnamese Army colonel-later turned dissident and exile, who believed that the cause behind the war had been just but that the country's political system had lost its way after reunification,[37] maintained in 2000 that no torture had occurred in the POW camps.[38] Tin stated that there were "a few physical hits like a slap across the face, or threats, in order to obtain the specific confessions," and that the worst that especially resistant prisoners such as Stockdale and Jeremiah Denton encountered was being confined to small cells.[38] Tran Trong Duyet, a jailer at Hoa Lo beginning in 1968 and its commandant for the last three years of the war, maintained in 2008 that no prisoners were tortured.[36] However, eyewitness accounts by American servicemen present a different account of their captivity.

After the war, Risner wrote the book Passing of the Night detailing his seven years at the Hanoi Hilton. Indeed, a considerable literature emerged from released POWs after repatriation, depicting Hoa Lo and the other prisons as places where such atrocities as murder; beatings; broken bones, teeth and eardrums; dislocated limbs; starvation; serving of food contaminated with human and animal feces; and medical neglect of infections and tropical disease occurred. These details are revealed in accounts by McCain (Faith of My Fathers), Denton, Alvarez, Day, Risner, Stockdale and dozens of others. The Hanoi Hilton was depicted in the 1987 Hollywood movie The Hanoi Hilton.

In addition to memoirs, the U.S. POW experience in Vietnam was the subject of two in-depth accounts by authors and historians, John G. Hubbell's P.O.W.: A Definitive History of the American Prisoner-of-War Experience in Vietnam, 1964–1973 (published 1976) and Stuart Rochester and Frederick Kiley's Honor Bound: American Prisoners of War in Southeast Asia, 1961–1973 (published 1999).
