The Bataan Death March (1942)

After the surrender of joint U.S. - Filipino forces at the Bataan Peninsula in the Philippines on April 9th, 1942, the Japanese forced 76,000 exhausted prisoners of war to march to the Camp O’Donnell prison camp.

Accounts of the total distance of the march vary, but it was approximately 66 miles or 106 kilometers on foot.
