In my childhood years, I was fascinated by JWs “Back to Bataan” movie....I must have seen it at least a dozen or more times. I remember in the movie when credits were rolled or somewhere in the movie, scenes were filmed of the death march (re-enacted)....in the scenes were multiple survivors of the actual death march....I wonder if Mr. Zale was in any of the scenes.

Back to Bataan was shot in 44-45. Those extras must've been rushed straight from the camps to Hollywood in time for shooting.

It was a nice way to honor them though... the kind of thing Hollywood did back then.

No, he wasn't. He was liberated by the Russians in Northeast China in August 1945.
