The Japanese forcibly marched 75,000 Filipino and American POW's (men and women) 62 miles to POW camps after General MacArthur surrendered the POW's who were sick or injured. He was told by the Japanese that the prisoners would be treated well because the Japanese were not Barbarians. This occurred on April 9, 1942 after the Japanese won the Battle of Bataan. Prisoners who stopped, fell down or tried to rest on the week-long walk were killed. Among atrocities inflicted on the prisoners, they were not allowed water or food, were beaten, stabbed, beheaded, disemboweled raped, shot or had their throats slit. They also suffered from dysentery In the National Archives it is reported that only 54,000 of the POW's reached their final destination. After the Japanese surrender in 1945 General Homma was tried for war crimes related to the death March. He was found guilty and executed April 3, 1946.
