The Battle of Wake Island🎙️ ft Ian

In this Pacific War Podcast Craig and Ian tell the heroic story of the Battle of Wake Island.

The Battle of Wake Island began simultaneously with the attack on Pearl Harbor and invasion of Southeast Asia. For two weeks US Marines, air crews and civilians fought off an invasion force of Japanese Special Naval Landing Force troops. While the Japanese were easily overwhelming the allies in every other location, the men at Wake held firm in an Alamo like fashion.

In this episode Craig and Ian explain why there was a battle for Wake atoll, what happened during the raids and invasion and the tragic aftermath for the survivors. It was a heroic effort at the very beginning of the Pacific War.
