WW2’s Forgotten Atrocity: The Pantingan River Massacre

Left Behind: When America Surrendered WW2

On April 12, 1942, Japanese forces dishonored themselves – by massacring more than 350 unarmed, bound Filipino officers and non-coms, who had surrendered the day before.

It became known as the Pantingan River Massacre.

Relying on survivor testimony and later interviews with Japanese soldiers who participated in the “dishonorable deed,” this episode uncovers the details of this largely unknown war crime, which occurred during the Bataan Death March.
