Surrender: Corregidor's Final, Frantic Message
Manage episode 401792042 series 3440529
In the early morning hours of May 6, 1942, a 22-year-old Signal Corps man telegraphed a frantic, play-by-play of the fighting and bombardment on Corregidor Island as Japanese forces moved ever closer to Malinta Tunnel.
Then the white flag was raised, and the US flag burned.
And the young man transmitted it to the world, as a nation wept.
I mentioned these POWs in the episode, here are links to their stories:
- Henry Goodall's audacious war-time strategies (Episode #14)
- Nurse Clara Bickford - abandoned on Bataan (Episode #25)
- Final transfers of Hall, Hutchison, & McManus (Episode #12)
- Felipe Fernandez: A daring Bataan escape (Episode #26)
- Frank Pyzick's first days (Episode #1)
- Louis Sontag & Brooks Miller's attempted escapes (Episode #5)
- Alan Manning at Cabanatuan (Episode #10)
- Father and son Vicente & Marcos Mocorro (Episode #35)
- Curtis Beecher defends Corregidor (Episode #36)
- The last photo of Kuykendall, Pressman, Wernher, Hough, & Wing (Episode #41)
