Although Yamamoto argued for the attack on Pearl Harbor, he held no illusions about the war’s final outcome.
He admitted to an aide, “In the first six to
twelve months of a war with the United States and Britain, I will run wild and win victory after victory. After that, I have no expectation of success.”

. . . Bataan Death March
At dawn April 9, 1942, Major General Edward P. King, Jr., surrendered more than 75,000 starving and disease-ridden American soldiers, sailors, and Marines and their Filipino allies, to overwhelming Japanese forces.
He inquired of the Japanese colonel to whom he tendered his pistol whether the Americans and Filipinos would be well treated.
The Japanese aide-de-camp indignantly replied: “We are not barbarians.”
The next 14 days would prove otherwise.

August, 1942
The men were marched 65 miles into Japanese Prisoner-of-War camps.
(See “A Voice from the Past,” text p. 828)
The 75,000 prisoners of war were bound, beaten, or killed by their Japanese captors. Some were bayoneted when they fell from exhaustion. Some were forced to dig their own graves and were buried alive.
Only 56,000 prisoners reached camp alive. Thousands of them later died from malnutrition and disease.
In August, 1945, the Russian Army liberated the prison camp.

bayonette Richard Gordon: I didn't come down with a
surrender group. They caught me actually two days after the surrender took place. First thing I did was receive a good beating. And everything I had in my wallet, in my pockets was taken from me. And as I was marched down that road, where they captured me, I passed my battalion commander, Major James Ivy, and he had been tied to a tree and he was stripped to the waist and he was just covered with bayonet holes. He was dead obviously. And he had bled profusely. He had been bayonetted by many, many bayonets.And that's when I knew we had some troubles on our hands. We were in for deep trouble. And they brought us down into a staging area and put me in with the rest of the thousands that were assembled on the side of the road, and that's where I spent my first night.

A voice from the past "Hell was furry red spiders as big as you fist, giant lizards as
long as your leg, leeches falling from trees to suck blood, armies of white ants with bites of fire, scurrying scorpions inflaming any flesh they touched, enormous rats and bats everywhere, and rivers with waiting crocodiles. Hell was the sour, foul smell of the squishy jungle, humidity that rotted a body within hours.... hell was an enemy... so fanatic that it used its own dead as booby traps"-Ralph g. Martin, quoted in the GI War
