If I cross-referenced the information correctly, the Bataan Death March was happening when Corregidor fell... You are correct. The Bataan Death March began immediately after the surrender of the troops on the Bataan Peninsula by General King on April 9th.

You are correct. The Bataan Death March began immediately after the surrender of the troops on the Bataan Peninsula by General King on April 9th. I got the impression from Toland's book that the transfer of prisoners only lasted about three days. Corregidor held out almost another month.
