During a series of US/Allied operations to clean out NVA forces in or near the infamous A Shau Valley, in May 1969, five battalions of the 101st Airborne Division (Airmobile), plus some ARVN units engaged several battalions of Regular NVA forces atop Ap Bia Mountain (Hill 937). A ten day battle ensued, resulting in approximately 400 US casualties, and the same or more for the communists. SEE: The film, "Hamburger Hill", (1987) starring Dylan McDermott & Steve Weber; The movie (film) was "relatively" historically correct. SEE: "Hamburger Hill", by Samuel Zaffiri (1999); ISBN 0-8914-1706-0
