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

You’ll find images and maps about the 92nd Garage and Alma Salm’s story at:
