El general francés
Navarre, en un esfuerzo por dar un golpe de timón a una guerra no convencional, ideó
un plan basado en anteriores victorias francesas que consistía en fortificar
una zona aislada en territorio enemigo y esperar el desgaste de un ataque frontal enemigo sin apoyo pesado.
En Noviembre de 1953
se inició la Operación Castor, con el salto en paracaídas de cerca de 9000 hombres,
en su mayoría legionarios que ni tan siquiera eran franceses, en los aledaños de la
aldea de Dien Bien Phu.

Los planes franceses se vieron dramáticamente frustrados por
la pericia de los generales del Viet Minh y el inmenso sufrimiento de sus gentes,
que lograron trasladar artillería pesada a través de la densa jungla.
The french plans were, dramatically thwarted, by the expertise of the Viet Minh generals and the immense suffering of its people, who managed to move heavy artillery through the dense jungle.
