The Battle for Manila February-March
1945
MacArthur's forces take back the city
San Thomas Prison Liberation
Manila was only one of the great cities of
Southeast Asia
overrun by the Japanese war machine between
July, 1941 and April, 1942.
But unlike Saigon, Hong Kong, Singapore,
Djakarta and Rangoon
-- which late in the war the Japanese
surrendered to British forces without a fight --
Manila was the only city in which Japanese and
Allied forces collided.
The results were unspeakable: an estimated
100,000 of its citizens died.
In the entire war, only the battles of Berlin
and Stalingrad resulted in more casualties.

English translation of the original image caption:
The Battle of Stalingrad from 7 July 1942 through 2 Feb 1943
After the capitulation of the fascist German troops on 31 January and 2
February,
91,000 survivors became prisoners of war. A younger soldier and fanatical Nazi,
who has not realized this end, yet.
Note: The original image caption is communist propaganda, obviously.
In fact, you see nothing but a wounded young POW, guarded by a soviet soldier
(in background).
