On May 11, 1969, Hamburger Hill became the scene of an
intense and controversial battle during the Vietnam War.

Known to military planners as Hill 937 (a reference to its
height in meters), the solitary peak is located in the dense
jungles of the A Shau Valley of Vietnam, about a mile from
the border with Laos.

The Vietnamese referred to the hill as “the mountain of the
crouching beast.”

The purpose of the operation was to cut off North Vietnamese
infiltration from Laos and enemy threats to the cities of Hue
and Da Nang.
