Silky-voiced propaganda broadcaster Hanoi Hannah, famous for urging American GI (military) to leave her country during the Vietnam war, has died at the age of 87. Hannah died on Friday at her home in Ho Chi Minh City, according to VOV. Hannah went on to work for Ho Chi Minh City Television after the war and was reclusive in her final years, rarely speaking to the press. The Vietnam war, still called the American war in the country today, ended with the fall of the southern capital more than four decades ago at the hands of Communist forces. The city was renamed Ho Chi Minh City after the country’s independence hero who died before the war’s end.
