The HORRIFIC Execution and Torture Of The Bataan Death March

Throughout the Second World War, there were a number of harrowing atrocities committed by the Japanese Army and forces in the Pacific. One of their most notorious actions was ordering the Bataan Death March, in which 75,000 prisoners of war were marched many miles under terrible conditions. The prisoners were given no food or water, and they were subjected to torture and harrowing executions at the hands of the Japanese guards.
The guards randomly executed prisoners to strike fear into the other victims hearts, and they also kept prisoners in terrible conditions. In total it's estimated that between 5000 to 19000 prisoners died inside of the death march because of their treatment.

I knew two men on the march. One was taken to Japan for slave labor and was quite bitter. When I asked the other how he survived the march he said: "I don't know. I was 18."

My grandfather was a march survivor. He was a career soldier, master Sargent at the time. They sent him to Japan as slave labor in coal mines outside Tokyo. As far as being an "easy camp", he was a slave, contracted polio from being beat in the chest with a 2x4 by a guard. Now my grandfather rarely talked about it but he did say the most terrifying thing he experienced. As they were marching them out they looked on a hill an there were German officers with the Japanese. He being Jewish figured they'd separate the Jews and kill them all. Japanese had no qualms killing, he witnessed many so he was waiting to be separated then murdered. As far as him hating Japanese, never heard that from him, he bought me my first Yamaha in 1972. My dad (my grandfather was a stepfather to him) bought a VW for commuting and he wouldn't ride in it, he hated anything German and understandably so. Doing the research I found out a lot of his details. Although not personal, it gave me much more respect for my grandfather. God bless.

My Dad was among the American soldiers who liberated Dachau. When I was growing up he would not deal with anything German. He would not even allow a VW to park in our driveway.

My grandmother's brother was a POW at a Japanese camp during the war he was tortured nearly to death, and his body bore the scars forever. He had nearly fatal malaria I do not know how he survived it, he said the Japanese are the cruellest race on earth the things they did to the prisoners are unbelievable.😢 He was a lovely quiet man too. I have his papers one of them a telegram he sent home while in the camp they had to write a simple message which was given to them by the Japanese. Great video thank you.

I'd say the human race in general is cruel. Not to take away from your granduncle's experience but let's not forget that the US dropped two nuclear bombs on Japan. Thanks for sharing.

[@janlindtner305]

Japanese war crimes are hugely under-explained and acknowledged compared to the Nazis. Necessary vlog to clarify the historical whole.❤👍🤟

[@djquinn11]

According to revisionists the US were the aggressors and Japanese the victims. Japan got off easy.

[@DrumsByDennis]

Thanks for your interesting content. Can't get enough WWII videos

Horrible. But to the extent possible. the U.S. and Japan, "long ago forgave each other for that terrible war.." Those words were written by the Captain of the Japanese sub that torpedoed the U.S.S. Indianapolis, He wrote it support of the efforts to posthumously pardon her Commander, Charles McVay who.was held partially responsible for the sinking because he failed to order an evasive "zig zag" maneuver which would not have saved the ship. McVay took his own life in 1968. President Clinton granted his pardon in 2000.

[@johnharvey848]

It's sad that Germany and Japan have been allowed to progress.

[@MikeJones-hc1gw]

Please stop.

[@adambane1719]

The US war crimes of targeting civilians in Tokyo and Nagasaki and Hiroshima have STILL to be accounted for !!!!

[@JW-mb6tq]

Not if you ask the Chinese. Get a grip on yourself.

[@Thomas-yr9ln]

Go cry a river somewhere else trader.

[@jackzimmer6553]

Sounds like you would rather have the US invade the home islands as was originally planned. The losses of civilians killed at Hiroshima and Nagasaki would have paled in comparison. Do some studying of WW2 history. You might be a bit more informed.

[@fredrickmarsiello4395]

Shilling for the enemy?

[@adambane1719]

The US should never have invaded ANY Japanese or European territory.... or Asia or the Middle East since@@jackzimmer6553
