As if the Japs were not enough for Filipino`s to handle,the Yanks did a lot of damage liberating Manila..In actual fact they devastated the city and killed thousands of locals with blanket shelling and bombing.
Some Japs were hiding in the Red cross quarters which was a hospital full of Filipino sick n injured.. The yanks flattened it.
Same type of thing inside Intramuros.
The devil and the deep blue sea.
