As an aside, I believe it was a New Zealander who saved England from the Luftwaffe during the blitz, the Air Marshall who now has a statue in London.

Lurking.

There I was thinking it was Teraupraha.

1266534 2012-03-26 21:01:00 yes all allied forces were told not to cross into Berlin but to stop and let te Russian forces take it, this is a well known fact as is Russia actually winning the war. The real hero of the war was the Kiwi plastic surgeon who saved so many airforce lives
Maybe it was because Berlin is in East near Poland where the Russians came through from Russia.
If I was to name my hero for WW2 it would be Otto Skorzeny followed by AVM Park a Thames lad.

That was Air Chief Marshal Sir Keith Park

And that was Sir Archibald McIndoe, Both men were great New Zealanders.

No doubt about it Richard, all would have been lost without those 3 men.
