NBC White Paper: Bataan, the Forgotten Hell (1982)
Moving and unforgettable survivors of the worst of the worst
17 April 2016
I first saw this in 1982 and never forgot it; and with a teenage daughter now, I wanted her to see it, so I had to launch a pretty extensive search to find a copy. I don't know why it isn't better known and available; I have watched many war documentaries but this episode of all of the misery of World War II, in either theater, the most extreme suffering next to the concentration camps. How these men managed to survive is impossible to understand. But to watch their faces as they told about it 40 years later was, as I say, unforgettable. I expect they are all dead now, but Bataan should not be lost in the mists of war history. Grim, perhaps, but profound. I cannot recommend it enough.
