Beskrivning
On the southwest shore of Laguna de Bay in the Philippines stood the Los Banos Internment Camp.Held within were 2,147 starving POWs, surrounded by thousands of Japanese troops. As the desperate battle for Manila raged, only 130 Paratroopers could be spared for the rescue operation. Supported by Alamo Scouts, local guerrillas, and amphibious tractors, they seized the element of surprise, and rescued the POWs.A stunningly successful raid that has received very little coverage, this is a long-overdue assessment of one of the truly great operations during the dying days of World War II.
