The Story of the AMERICAN SOLDIERS' Valor and Survival :

THE PALAWAN MASSACRE

On Palawan Island in the Philippines, Japanese forces pushed 150 American POWs into an air raid shelter below ground, doused them with gasoline, set them afire, then machine gunned, bayoneted and clubbed the screaming men to death. A few were successful in running out of the fiery pit, bravely pulling the enemy

to take them down with them to their fiery deaths before they were shot.

 

Miraculously, eleven escaped to tell their story.
