1. About 75,000 troops, the exact number To me remains unknown as of now.
2. It's actually in the Phillipines, where a very well known US Military base remains on to this day.
3. Despite with heavy grit and determination they held out for 3 months. They surrendered... And I think we know how the Japanese treat those who surrender...
4. (If not) They are horrifically treated. they are starved. Beaten. Used as bayonet practice. Shot. Marched into their own graves. Basically the POW version of the holocaust on US Soldiers by Japan.
5. Who knows? I think there are still bodies being discovered. Thousands, not hundreds. Thousands died. The exact figure (Again) remains unknown To me.
6. Soldiers who escaped... Spoke of these horrors. Either that or locals (Again) spoke to the soldiers about these horrors. No one should go through that. It's a miracle any of them even made it out. If anything, the Japanese would've executed them all. Eventually.
