Historic overview:



Scenario in dates:
May 5, 1942: In the Philippines - Japanese troops land on Corregidor. Fierce fighting by the remaining American troops under General Wainwright results, but the Japanese maintain a beach head.
May 6, 1942: In the Philippines - Formal American resistance to the Japanese invasion ends with General Wainwright´s surrender on Corregidor. Japanese attacks continue against local resistance on Mindanas.
May 7, 1942: In the Philippines - General Wainwright broadcasts the news of the American surrender at Corregidor from Japanese custody. He invites the remainder of the American forces in the Philippines to surrender. Despite the American surrender, the opposition faced by Japanese forces has been effective in disrupting their plans. General Homma was allocated 50 days to take the Philippines, the actual conquest took five months. The continuing resistance of the Filipino forces has prevented the release of his troops for other campaigns.
September 9, 1943: United States - the movie So Proudly We Hail! is released. Based on the true story of the "Angels of Bataan," American military nurses serving in the Philippines in defense of Bataan, and at the Malinta Tunnel underground hospital in Corregidor. One of the themes of the film is the authentic book of Junanity Hipps I Served on Bataan, which became a bestseller in the United States in 1943. Juanita Hipps was evacuated just before the fall of the Philippines, but most of the sisters are in Japanese captivity at the time of the film´s about them release and serve as medical personnel for the POW camps.
February 10, 1944: Japan - premieres a full-length Japanese-Filipino war propaganda film Shoot that flag: end of Corregidor (Ano hata o ute korehidōru no saigo) about the events of the Japanese conquest of the Philippines 1941-42. The Japanese are depicted here as liberating Filipinos from American colonialists, and in the Philippines the film is shown under the title Dawn of Freedom (Liwayway ng Kalayaan). American and Filipino prisoners of war were used in the making of the picture. Despite some problems, after the war both directors, Japan´s Yutaka Abe and the Philippines´ Gerardo de León, would have rich professional careers.
