Summary
[edit]DescriptionWake civilian contractors marching in captivity 1941.jpg | Civilian contractors are marched off to captivity after the Japanese captured Wake, 23 December 1941. Some, deemed important by the Japanese to finish construction projects, were retained there. Fearing a fifth column rising, the Japanese executed 98 contractors in October 1943 after U.S. air attacks, an atrocity for which atoll commander, RAdm Shigematsu Sakaibara, was hanged after the Second World War. |
