Hi guys, just listened to the Wake Island episodes and really liked it. Nice details! I would ask for a wrap up to say what happens to some of the main characters in these episodes.
Like what happened to the POWs after Wake fell. Where were they interned? When were they released? How many survived the battle and then survived internment? What was the fate of the Japanese admiral? Did he later participate in key campaigns? Any notable post-war careers or event for the senior leadership?

United States2 months ago - Stop interrupting!!!! Just stop!!!!! Parshall stop please for the love of all that is holy!
Fantastic show but one star is to get attention. For the love of God stop interrupting each other. Edit. Parshall is the prime suspect here. He can’t seem to help himself from interrupting or even saying yes uh huh…. It ruins the episodes. Never,
not once is the interruption essential.
Nobody wants to hear that. Let the other person talk and during a pause address your comment. Jesus. This is not rocket science.

My dad, was an 18 year Marine PFC assigned to the
2nd platoon,
B Company,
1st Battalion,
8 regiment of the 2nd Division that assaulted
Red Beach 2 on Betio. His platoon lieutenant was Dean Ladd who retired as a colonel and wrote a memoir of his unit’s experiences in the Pacific titled
“Faithful Warriors “. If you would like a first hand personal account of this horrific battle this is one.
