summary details
IPTC: Caption Japanese soldiers of the Japanese 14th Army, commanded by Lieutenant General Masaharu Homma, cheer the news that on April 9, 1942, Commanding General of the Philippine-American forces on the Bataan Peninsula, US Army General Ernest P. King, met with Major General Kameichiro Nagano, head of the Imperial Japanese Army's 21st Infantry Division. After several hours of negotiations King surrendered the remaining weary, starving and emaciated American and Filipino defenders on the battle-swept Bataan peninsula. More than 60,000 Filipino and 15,000 American prisoners of war were forced into the infamous Bataan Death March. The Japanese public receives the news with great excitement.
