I would submit that the reason for this... is that Giap and Ho Chi Minh understood the political nature... of this particular battle... and they wanted the politics... the public opinion in France... and in the rest of the world, among the other powers... to build, to give this a great deal more importance than it had militarily.
E a razón foi que Giap e Ho Chi Minh entendían a natureza política desta batalla particularmente e buscaron que os políticos e a opinión pública en Francia e no resto do mundo, mesmo os poderes establecidos lle desen a isto máis importancia que nada máis que a militar.
