Manage episode 364399457 series 3440529
In January 1942, two young American officers – Alexander Nininger and Ira Cheaney – died in battle on the Bataan Peninsula.
In life, they’d been in The Philippines just 9 weeks.
But, in death, they’ve been left behind there for more than 80 years.
Because … of a rush to judgement, a potential Army coverup, and an inconvenient secret.
This Memorial Day, discover the search for the WW2 servicemen still missing on Bataan.
