Nguyễn Khoa Nam

Major General Nguyễn Khoa Nam (23 September 1927 – 30 April 1975) was a native of Đà Nẵng and served in the Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN).

After joining the French-sponsored Vietnam National Army (VNA), he attended the Thủ Đức Military Academy and graduated in 1953.

In January 1970 he was appointed as commander of the 7th Division where he was credited with making remarkable progress and later promoted to Brigadier general.

As a Major general, he liked to carried out operations across Mekong Delta to prevent VC taking over any regional districts.

On 30 April 1975, with the Fall of Saigon, rather than fleeing the country or surrendering, he and his deputy commander, General Lê Văn Hưng shot themselves dead.
