If the Allies controlled Crete, their air and sea superiority would not allow the Germans a strategic military foothold in the region. For the Germans, Crete would secure the Aegean Sea for Axis shipping, loosen Great Britain’s grasp in the eastern Mediterranean Sea and provide air bases to launch offensives against British forces in Egypt.

  • The New Zealand Army Officer Corps, 1909-1945
    1 A New Zealand Style of Military Leadership? Battalion and Regimental Combat Officers of the New Zealand Expeditionary Forces of the First and Second World Wars A thesis provided in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History at the University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand Wayne Stack 2014 2 Abstract This thesis examines the origins, selection process, training, promotion and general performance, at battalion and regimental level, of combat officers of the New Zealand Expeditionary Forces of the First and Second World Wars. These were easily the greatest armed conflicts in the country’s history. Through a prosopographical analysis of data obtained from personnel records and established databases, along with evidence from diaries, letters, biographies and interviews, comparisons are made not only between the experiences of those New Zealand officers who served in the Great War and those who served in the Second World War, but also with the officers of other British Empire forces. During both wars New Zealand soldiers were generally led by competent and capable combat officers at all levels of command, from leading a platoon or troop through to command of a whole battalion or regiment. What makes this so remarkable was that the majority of these officers were citizen-soldiers who had mostly volunteered or had been conscripted to serve overseas. With only limited training before embarking for war, most of them became efficient and effective combat leaders through experiencing battle. Not all reached the required standard and those who did not were replaced to ensure a high level of performance was maintained within the combat units.

AG, Frauenfeld Satz und Druck von Huber & Co. AG, Frauenfeld Umschlagentwurf: Atelier der Werbeagentur Roland Hauert, Zürich Printed in Svritzerland Eingescannt mit OCR-Software ABBYY Fine Reader VORWORT Ich traf Air Commodore Freddie West, Träger des Viktoria- und des Militärkreuzes, gegen Mitte des zweiten Weltkrieges in der Schweiz, wo er seit Kriegsbeginn – mit dem britischen Gesandten und einer Handvoll anderer Gesandtschaftsbeamten – trotz dem vernichtenden Spott seiner deut- schen Gegenspieler, ihren Intrigen und sonstigen Winkelzügen die «Festung» für Grossbritannien hielt. Ich wusste, dass sein Leben bedroht war. Aber während des ganzen Krieges gelang es ihm immer, über den Dingen zu stehen und ihnen eine heitere Seite abzugewinnen. Neugier und Bewun- derung spornten mich an, das Freddie West und sein Wesen umhüllende Geheimnis zu lüften. Ich brauchte fünfzehn Jahre, bis ich sein Vertrauen gewonnen hatte und er mir einen Einblick in sein Leben gestattete. Das so erhaltene Bild habe ich nachfolgend wiederzugeben versucht. Es ist die Lebensgeschichte eines Man- nes, der noch unter uns weilt. Aus diesem Grunde wird der Leser sicher ver- stehen, dass die Weglassung einiger weniger Tatsachen unumgänglich war. P. R. Reid 5 KINDHEIT IN MAILAND Meine Mutter, das sah ich, war tieftraurig. Sie hatte gerade meinen Vater verloren und kleidete sich jetzt ganz schwarz, während sie sonst farbenfrohe Kleider liebte.

  • Politics of Forgetting: New Zealand-Greek Wartime Relationship
    Politics of Forgetting: New Zealand-Greek Wartime Relationship Martyn Brown Bachelor of Arts Graduate Diploma Library Science Graduate Diploma Information Technology Post-Graduate Diploma Business Research Master of Arts (Research) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2014 School of History Philosophy Religion and Classics Abstract In extant New Zealand literature and national public commemoration, the New Zealand experience of wartime Greece largely focuses on the Battle of Crete in May 1941 and, to a lesser extent, on the failed earlier mainland campaign. At a politico-military level, the ill-fated Greek venture and the loss of Crete hold centre stage in the discourse. In terms of commemoration, the Battle of Crete dominates as an iconic episode in the national history of New Zealand. As far as the Greeks are concerned, New Zealand elevates and embraces Greek civilians to the point where they overshadow the Greek military. The New Zealand drive to place the Battle of Crete as supporting its national self-imagining has been achieved, but what has been forgotten in the process? The wartime connection between the Pacific nation and Greece lasted for the remainder of the international conflict and was highly complex and sometimes violent. In occupied Greece and Crete, as well as in the Middle East, North Africa and Italy, New Zealand forces had to interact with a divided Greek nation that had been experiencing ongoing political turmoil and intermittent civil conflict. Individual New Zealanders found themselves acting as liaison officers with competing partisan groups. Greek military units with a history of mutiny and political intrigue were affiliated with the main New Zealand fighting force, the Second New Zealand Division.
