On April 9th, 1942, after months of brutal fighting in the Philippines, American and Filipino forces on the Bataan Peninsula were finally forced to surrender to the Imperial Japanese Army. Exhausted, starving, and ravaged by disease, more than 70,000 prisoners of war were taken into custody. With little preparation and even less regard for their condition, the captives were then ordered to march north, deep into Japanese-controlled territory. The journey that followed would become one of the most infamous war crimes of the Second World War. It would be so horrifying that it would come to be known as the Bataan Death March. As always, viewer discretion is strongly advised. historical look at bataan march
