The Bataan Death March was just one of the many atrocities that the Japanese Army inflicted on the civilians of the Philippines. They stole all their food and money. Threw them out of their homes, and occupied them. And raped the women, incessantly. I heard this from Phillipinos, who are now deceased. Who immigrated to California, after the war was over.
It's actually very worse than that..Treatment of American POW's by japan was quantum leaps beyond cruel. POW's were burned to death with gasoline Prisoners were beheaded and then EATEN. Yes EATEN. They were treated as slaves and were worked to death. By comparison American POW's captured by the Germans lived in luxury. This history is not told to the Japanese children, they are totally unaware of the japanese cruelty in WW2.
