They ATTACKED Without Weapons — And KILLED More Enemies Than Before | WW2

Описание: He weighed only 118 pounds, ravaged by malaria and starvation after 16 months in a Japanese prisoner of war camp. Yet, when Master Sergeant Jack Hawkins crawled through the fence at Cabanatuan in April 1943, he wasn’t escaping to survive—he was escaping to fight.

Facing a brutal "10-for-1" reprisal policy, Hawkins made a cold calculation: staying in camp meant certain death, while escape offered a chance for vengeance. With nothing left to lose, he trekked into the Zambales mountains and joined Filipino guerrillas, eventually leading an elite "Ghost Unit" that terrorized Japanese occupation forces deep behind enemy lines.

This documentary explores the incredible true story of Jack Hawkins and the "Lethality Gap" of the Pacific War. Before his capture, Hawkins recorded five kills during the defense of Bataan. After his escape, fighting as a guerrilla with "nothing to lose," he killed 63 Japanese soldiers. Discover how starving, diseased escapees became five times more effective than regular infantrymen, proving that the most dangerous soldier is one who has already lost everything.
