Best Answer

The Bataan Death March ( Japanese: Batān Shi no Kōshin ) was not a music composition. It was the forcible transfer of 60,000 Filipino and American soldiers by the Japanese army in WWII. It began April 19, 1942 for over 128 km (80 mi). Before they reached the destination, over 10,000 soldiers were dead, from weakness due to disease and wounds, malnutrition, lack of food and water, deliberate physical abuse and murder by their captors. It was considered one of the biggest atrocities of war during WWII. Some soldiers escaped and blended into civilian communities, but the rest suffered tremendously or as stated above, died along the way.
