MacArthur Memorial Podcast

Escape From Corregidor


Listen Later

In March 1942, General MacArthur, his wife Jean, his son Arthur, and select members of his staff quietly boarded PT 41 in the Philippines. They were embarking on a dangerous escape attempt. Against all odds, the escape was successful, and from the safety of Australia MacArthur would utter the famous promise: “I shall return.” For the next two and a half years however, those left behind on Bataan and Corregidor knew only captivity, horror, and death. This month’s podcast examines the escape and MacArthur’s thoughts on leaving.
