Bataan Death March
94
Details of the March The only way to get the men to the camp was to make them march the 70 miles. The Japanese High Command believed that it should only require a few days, but the men taken as prisoners of war were not in good health and were malnourished. That set the stage for an onslaught of inexcusable brutality. –They committed random beatings and killings of all kinds –1000 soldiers died on the nine day hike
