Nazis and reach freedom. There was good reason to be optimistic. The Resistance enabled more than 3,000 Allied airmen to disguise their identities and walk out of German-occupied Western Europe. Airmen shot down in France and Belgium had especially good chances of making it out. Future American ace and test pilot legend Charles E. “Chuck” Yeager was shot down by Focke-Wulf 190s on a mission over France on March 5, 1944. “Before I had gone 200 feet, half a dozen Frenchmen ran up to me,” Yeager later reported. They brought him a change of clothes and hid him in a barn. Under the care of the Resistance, Yeager was transported to southern France, hiked into Spain on March 28, reached the British fortress at Gibraltar on May 15, and was in England by May 21, 1944. Yeager’s speedy trip was made possible by years of effort to build networks for moving airmen from the moment they landed in their parachutes to the moment they reached friendly or neutral territory. The evading airman’s journey always began with immediate concealment. Then they sheltered with families, often in several locations. Next they traveled in cars and trucks, bicycled, and even rode A B-24 crash-lands near Eindhoven, Holland.

  • HUMS301 Yarns in the Tent: Mateship in 3 Squadron RAAF North Africa and Italy 1942-1945
    Margaret Deacon 1 HUMS301 Yarns in the Tent: Mateship in 3 Squadron RAAF North Africa and Italy 1942-1945. TRIMESTER 3 Margaret Deacon Student Number: 9360763 Supervisor: Nathan Wise Word limit: 6238 words Margaret Deacon 2 In the book, Anzac Memories, the notion of ‘Mateship’ in relation to wartime experiences as a characteristic of Australian service personnel has been explored; looking at the relationship that troops had with their mates as they became their ‘family’ far from home shores.1 Already crucial meanings have been identified which will be applied here to the daily lives of servicemen in No.3 Squadron, Royal Australian Air Force during the Second World War years of 1942 to 1945, to emphasise the importance of male comradeship under appalling circumstances. While there appears to be no comparable account of these experiences in other squadrons this work will contribute to the overall social history of war by providing a personal insight into how lives were lived with 3 Squadron and the importance of the quality of mateship. This thread will be interwoven through the seven major themes which have emerged: living conditions; how weather impacted on their lives; camaraderie and morale; recreation leave; fear and dangers; communication with loved ones in Australia and the post-war relationships of the men. Military administration imposed operational regulations for the benefit of crew and the above themes show what impact they had on the lives of the crew. The small body of existing literature has addressed the general topic of mateship during wartime and assists in an understanding of the importance of this relationship.
