Grim Reality: POW Life Inside Corregidor’s 92nd Garage
Manage episode 407795564 series 3440529
Two days after Corregidor fell, more than 11,000 American and Filipino POWs were marched to a beachy cove known as the Army 92nd Garage.
Here they stayed, cramped, hungry, and thirty for nearly 3 weeks – baking in the tortuous Philippine sun because there was no protection from elements.
Among these men was my great-grandfather Alma Salm, who would endure 33 months of torturous POW life – experiences that would follow him home and color the remainer of his life.
Here are links to other episodes I mentioned in this episode:
- #40 – Describes the relentless week of bombings on Corregidor, leading up to the Japanese invasion.
- #44 – Details the Marines’ final fight to defend Corregidor
- #39 – The experiences of Alma Salm’s wife and daughter in Honolulu while Pearl Harbor was being attacked
- #32 – Life at Camp O’Donnell, where the Bataan Death March survivors were imprisoned after the march
