BTW, did you know that the Japanese took some 95 civilian contractors at Wake Island and executed all of them after they forced the civilians to make their defenses? Excellent book, "Pacific Alamo," by Wukovits.
I am aware of that story. We had a lady who was captured during WWII in the Dutch East Indies who lived near me. She spent her childhood in a Japanese consentration camp. Her father died working on the "death" railroad. She had some interesting stories about her experiences. She hated the Japanese.
