You must be thinking of Fantasy island. Wake was occupied by the Japanese for the entire war after attacking it.

Our POW's went through 4 years of hell on Wake. The island was attacked at the same time as Pearl Harbor, and captured within a week or so. There was no way for us to send help to them.

WRONG...
Wake was overrun.
You might mean Midway.
They tried and paid dearly for the experience.
IMO The Japs lost the war at Midway
