Surrender of U S General Wainwright Described by Japanese
Japanese broadcasts relay an eye witness account of General Wainwrights surrender at Corregidor. The six foot American commander, exhausted, presented a white flag as Japanese officers entered with a sword in hand. Wainwright seated with head in hands, then saluted as the Japanese commander demanded unconditional surrender terms. He explained Philippine American forces were dispersed and could not all obey orders, but promised all forces on Corregidor and Manila Bay would surrender. The Japanese accepted, ending the battle for Corregidor Island.
