Gp37672318527591
The Cu Chi tunnels are a large network of underground tunnels in Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon). The tunnels were originally constructed from 1946-1954 as a hiding place for the Viet Minh, nationalist guerillas who fought the Japanese during World War 2 and then France.
More tunnels were constructed during the Vietnam War to serve as hiding spots, communication, and supply routes for soldiers. The Cu Chi Minh tunnels are part of the overall network of tunnels that underlie much of Vietnam.

How deep were the Vietnamese underground tunnels?
This question cannot accurately be answered; because not all of the tunnels were ever discovered. Probably not even today, 40 to 50 years after the war's been over. Tunnels were dug in North Vietnam to protect personnel from aerial bombing (air strikes); tunnels were dug in South Vietnam for the same reason, with the added reason of moving men & supplies AND storing supplies. Tunnels were dug in Laos and Cambodia for the same reasons explained for digging them in South Vietnam. MANY of those tunnels were destroyed by GIs by driving over them (crushing them/collapsing them) with their 13 ton M113 ACAVs (Armored Cavalry Assault Vehicles) or their M551 Sheridan Tanks (17 tons), or their M48 Patton tanks (52 tanks). Or an air strike was called in on them, to destroy them; or Engineers were called in the demo them.
