"Just A Bunch Of Farmers" -Why the 2NZEF Crushed the Afrika Korps in Tunisia
The untold story of how a sheep-farming nation of 1.7 million people crossed an ocean, absorbed some of the worst defeats of the desert war, and ended up accepting the surrender of 238,000 German and Italian troops — including the remnants of Rommel's Afrika Korps. In 1940, nobody feared the New Zealanders. The Germans hadn't heard of them. The Italians didn't worry about them. They were farmers, teachers, and dock workers with no real military tradition. The Afrika Korps had crushed professional armies across Europe and North Africa. By May 13, 1943, Lieutenant-General Bernard Freyberg — commanding a division from the edge of the world — stood in Tunisia and accepted the largest Axis surrender since Stalingrad. This is how that happened.
