What is April 1942 Bataan?
The US Army in the Philippines made a valiant last stand against Japan on the Bataan Peninsula with the island of Corregidor as their headquarters. After the fall of Bataan, the American prisoners were forced to make the infamous "Bataan Death March." Corregidor held out for another month before it fell. * The full story is complicated, but General Eisenhower's plan to relieve the Philippines was cancelled because of Roosevelt's decision to deal with Germany first. General MacArthur was recalled to Australia, and US and Filipino forces withdrew to Bataan so as to hold out longer. They were in effect abandoned, and they called themselves the Battling Bastards of Bataan.
