Hey does anyone know what the NLF did? I think they were on the North Vietnamese side and if so whats the difference between the NLF the VC (Viet Cong) and the Viet Minh?

Any help would be much appreciated, Thanx guyys!

Basically the Viet Minh became the NLF. The Viet Cong was the name given to the southern Vietnamese communists which were either NLF sympathisers or NLF cells. The NLF fought more conventionally and the Viet Cong were strictly guerillas.

Viet Minh/NLF = Northern communists
Viet Minh = Southern communists
