The History Channel had a series on what happened to the Americans that were captured in April / May of 1942 in the Philippines. Of the 10,000 Americans captured only around 3,000 lived to see VJ day. It is interesting to note that the US had led the fight (due to US Courts awarding billions in damages to survivors) from the German program of slave labor but the US has DEFENDED Japan against the same charges that had US POWs (and British, Australian, Dutch, French etc.) working under the same type of conditions be awarded compensation that we forced German companies and government to pay out to their slave laborers.
