Louis Sontag and Brooks Miller’s Heartbreaking Escapes

Marines Brooks Miller and Louis Sontag escaped Japanese forces 3 times during WW2.

The first was when they helped rescue sailors and civilians trapped on a burning navy yard pier after a devastating Japanese air raid.

Months later the two Marines defended Manila’s island-fortress against invading Japanese ground forces.

Then they became POWs.

Back home, the women in their lives waited patiently for news of their fate. And prayed for their safe return.

But what the women didn’t know is that each man would brazenly defy their captors. And for that defiance, both men were sentenced to unimaginable punishments, including death.

Could either escape the cruel punishments – and return home to the women who loved them?
