The majority of death's caused by the NLF/Viet Cong would most likely be attributed to South Vietnamese civilians, followed by South Vietnamese military and then U.S. military personnel.
The Viet Minh were all Vietnamese men (whether they lived in the north or southern portions of Vietnam) fighting against the French (1946-1954). The Viet Cong were SOUTHERN Vietnamese citizens aiding the North Vietnamse Army in their war against the RVN & US/Allies. RVN=Republic of South Vietnam.
