286 Filipinos Saved 500 Lives | The Greatest U.S. WWII Rescue Nobody Talks About

🇵🇭 The greatest rescue in U.S. military history… and the heroes you’ve never heard of. In January 1945, the elite U.S. 6th Ranger Battalion, led by Colonel Henry Mucci, was sent on a mission to rescue over 500 prisoners of war from the Cabanatuan camp in the Philippines. But there was a problem… #filipinoheroes #wwii #untoldhistory A massive Japanese force of over 1,000 soldiers and armored units stood directly in their path. That’s when 286 Filipino guerrillas, led by Captain Juan Pajota, stepped in. In complete darkness, outnumbered and outgunned, they executed a brilliant defensive strategy at the Cabu River bridge, holding back enemy forces for hours. Because of them, the rescue mission succeeded. No Filipino lives were lost. Yet, their story is rarely told. 🎥 In this reaction, we explore one of the most incredible and underrated stories of World War II. iF YOU WANT TO SUPPORT THE CHANNEL BECOME A PATRON ▼ ►  / alexnchannel   MY OTHER REACTION CHANNEL:    / @alexnchannel   SUBSCRIBE▼ ►    / alexnchanne.  . ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ DONATE PAYPAL ► https://www.paypal.com/donate/?busine... ►BUY MERCH HERE ▼ ►https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuhB... ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ Original Video:    • US Elite Rangers Were Trapped. Then 286 Fi...   ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ FAIR USE COPYRIGHT NOTICE: The Copyright Laws of the United States recognizes a “fair use” of copyrighted content.
