Dương Văn Minh
Bùi Tín was with the North Vietnamese PAVN in the South in 1975, reporting for Nhân Dân. He claims to have been called into service at the Fall of Saigon because of his Army rank of colonel and to have personally accepted the surrender of Dương Văn Minh and his Cabinet, but this was disputed by the Vietnamese government after his 1990 defection effectively rendered him "Persona non grata".
