The Bataan Death March: 75,000 POWs Forced to Walk to Their DeathsAdded:
In April 1942, 75,000 prisoners of war began a walk they'd never forget.
[music] The Japanese called it a transfer. History knows it as the Bataan Death [music] March. 65 miles through the Philippine jungle. No food, no water, no mercy. Men collapsed from heat exhaustion within hours.
>> [music] >> Those who fell behind were bayoneted where they lay. Prisoners watched their friends die of thirst, their tongues swollen black. Disease spread [music] like wildfire through the ranks. 10,000 men died on that march. The survivors carried scars that never healed. Some horrors are too real [music] to forget.
