Here is an explanation about the people of the Bataan Death March and the POW camp they were interned in for three years.Bataan Death MarchFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaBataan -- Death march -- Corregidor -- MindanaoThe Bataan Death March (also known as The Death March of Bataan) took place in the Philippines in 1942 and was later accounted as a Japanese war crime. The 60-mile (97 km) march occurred after the three-month Battle of Bataan, part of the Battle of the Philippines (1941--42), during World War II. In Japanese, it is known as Batān Shi no Kōshin.The march, involving the forcible transfer of 75,000 American and Filipino prisoners of war captured by the Japanese in the Philippines from the Bataan peninsula to prison camps, was characterized by wide-ranging physical abuse and murder, and resulted in very high fatalities inflicted upon the prisoners and civilians along the route by the armed forces of the Empire of Japan. Beheadings, cutting of throats and casual shootings were the more common actions---compared to instances of bayonet stabbing, rape, disembowelment, rifle butt beating and a deliberate refusal to allow the prisoners food or water while keeping them continually marching for nearly a week in tropical heat. Falling down or inability to continue moving was tantamount to a death sentence, as was any degree of protest or expression of displeasure.Prisoners were attacked for assisting someone failing due to weakness, or for no apparent reason whatsoever. Strings of Japanese trucks were known to drive over anyone who fell. Riders in vehicles would casually stick out a rifle bayonet and cut a string of throats in the lines of men marching alongside the road. Accounts of being forcibly marched for five to six days with no food and a single sip of water are in postwar archives including filmed reports.The exact death count has been impossible to determine, but some historians have placed the minimum death toll between six and eleven thousand men; whereas other postwar Allied reports have tabulated that only 54,000 of the 72,000 prisoners reached their destination---taken together, the figures document a casual killing rate of one in four up to two in seven (25% to 28.6%) of those brutalized by the forcible march. The number of deaths that took place in the internment camps from delayed effects of the march is uncertain, but believed to be high.
The Bataan Death MarchAt the end of MacArthur's painfully bungled defence of the Philippine, he ordered his men to retreat to the Bataan peninsula in the south of Luzon which allowed the Japanese to cut off 75,000 American and Filipino troops. After MacArthur escaped back to stateside, his troops were surrendered to the Japanese.That is when the atrocity took place. These men were marched 6 days through the jungle deliberately without given water or food. Anyone who dropped out or fainted was basically given a death sentence by beheading, cut throats and bayonet stabbings. Similar treatment was administered for any degree of protest or expression of displeasure.At the end of the march 18,000 of the prisoners had been killed, that is one in four of the soldiers that started the march. Though this did not mean the end of the ordeal for the American prisoners, many more were to be worked death, starved or executed before the war ended.
