During World War II, approximately 200,000 American soldiers were captured and became prisoners of war (POWs). However, the number of those who officially surrendered is not precisely documented, as many soldiers were captured during battles rather than formally surrendering. The most notable event of mass surrender occurred during the fall of Bataan in 1942, where thousands of American and Filipino troops were captured by Japanese forces.
