About 390 Tank:
Tank number 390 crashed through the gates of Independence Palace, the last stronghold of the Sai Gon regime at noon on April 30, 1975, heralding the end of the war. Tank 390 was manned by four soldiers: commander Vu Dang Toan, first gunner Ngo Sy Nguyen, second gunner Le Van Phuong, and driver Nguyen Van Tap. 42 years on, the tank is a witness to history and recognized as a national treasure. It is now in the Tank and Armour Museum at Hoang Quoc Viet street, Hanoi. Replicas of the machine are also on display at Ho Chi Minh City's Reunification Palace.
About 30/4:
The fall of Saigon, known in Vietnam as Reunification Day (Vietnamese: Ngày gi?i phóng mi?n Nam, th?ng nh?t d?t nu?c)[9] was the capture of Saigon, the capital of South Vietnam, by North Vietnam on 30 April 1975. As part of the 1975 spring offensive, this decisive event led to the collapse of the South Vietnamese government and the evacuation of thousands of U.S. personnel and South Vietnamese civilians, and marked the end of the Vietnam War. The aftermath ushered in a transition period under North Vietnamese control, culminating in the formal reunification of the country as the Socialist Republic of Vietnam under communist rule on 2 July 1976.[10]

The People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN) and the Viet Cong (VC), under the command of General Van Ti?n Dung, began their final attack on Saigon on 29 April 1975, with the Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN) forces commanded by General Nguy?n Van Toàn suffering a heavy artillery bombardment. By the afternoon of the next day, the PAVN/VC had occupied the important points of the city and raised their flag over the South Vietnamese Presidential Palace.

The capture of the city was preceded by Operation Frequent Wind, the evacuation of almost all American civilian and military personnel in Saigon, along with tens of thousands of South Vietnamese civilians who had been associated with the Republic of Vietnam. A few Americans chose not to be evacuated. United States ground combat units had left South Vietnam more than two years prior to the fall of Saigon and were not available to assist with either the defense of Saigon or the evacuation. The evacuation was the largest helicopter evacuation in history.:?202? In addition to the flight of refugees, the end of the war and the institution of new rules by the communist government contributed to a decline in the city's population until 1979, after which the population increased again.

On 2 July 1976, the National Assembly of the unified Vietnam renamed Saigon in honor of H? Chí Minh, the late Chairman of the Workers' Party of Vietnam and founder of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (North Vietnam).
Reunification Day (Vietnamese: Ngày Th?ng nh?t), also known as Victory Day (Ngày Chi?n th?ng), Liberation Day (Ngày Gi?i phóng or Ngày Gi?i phóng mi?n Nam), or by its official name, Day of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification (Ngày gi?i phóng mi?n Nam, th?ng nh?t d?t nu?c) is a public holiday in Vietnam that marks the event when the North Vietnamese and North Vietnam-controlled Viet Cong forces captured Saigon (now Ho Chi Minh City), the capital of South Vietnam, on 30 April 1975, thus ending the Vietnam War. The event marked the start of the transition period of reunification, which also occurred after a vote in the National Assembly for reunification on 2 July 1976, when South Vietnam and North Vietnam were merged, forming the modern-day Vietnam.
