Musica, Señor Teniente.
:39:11
Musica. Es San Francisco.
:40:05
WBKR San Francisco.
:40:07
A brief interruption, please.
:40:09
This is spot and tragic news
from the Philippines.
:40:13
The white flag of surrender
was hoisted...
:40:15
...on the bloody heights
of Bataan this afternoon.
:40:18
36,000 United States soldiers...
:40:20
...hungry...
:40:22
...ragged, half-starved shadows...
:40:24
...trapped like rats
but dying like men...
:40:27
...were finally worn down by
200,000 picked Japanese troops.
:40:33
Men who fight for
an unshakable faith...
:40:37
...are more than flesh.
:40:38
But they're not steel.
:40:40
Flesh must yield at last.
:40:43
Endurance melts away.
:40:45
The end must come.
:40:47
Bataan has fallen.
:40:49
But the spirit that
made it a beacon...
:40:51
...to all lovers of liberty
will never falter.
:40:55
The white flag was hardly
hoisted over Bataan...
:40:57
...before Jap artillery began
slamming away at Corregidor...
