| While most of the Philippines
had fallen to the Japanese by April 8, 1942,
the island fortress of Corregidor held out
until May 6. This startling last message,
transmitted by Corporal Erving Strobing (who
would survive the war as a Japanese P.O.W)
in morse code, was picked up by an Army listening
post in Hawaii. |
