76,000 Prisoners Forced on Death March - The Bataan AtrocityAdded:
In 1942, 76,000 American and Filipino soldiers surrendered [music] to Japanese forces in the Philippines. They thought they'd be treated as prisoners of war.
They were wrong. What followed was a 65-mile forced march [music] through scorching tropical heat. No food, no water, no mercy. Japanese guards bayoneted anyone who fell behind.
Soldiers [music] watched their friends collapse and die in the dirt. This wasn't just a march. It was systematic murder disguised as prisoner transport.
The Bataan Death March became one of World War II's most horrific war crimes.
