Proof of the Maori Battalion's superiority. Well, for one thing, the Germans themselves said the Maori Battalion were the best fighters. They said in North Africa the sound they feared most, nore than the shelling or anything, was the sound of the MAori Battalion doing the haka. It meant they were about to be attacked by the most savage of all the Allied troops.
again from your sites! You ofcourse need to understand german to understand where Rommel was coming from. The national game of Maori is an extremely physical sport and going into battle is probably on a par to having a game! The need to continually strategise for self preservation is essential so intelligence is paramount! Also statistically more Maori fought in both world wars than any other ethnic group. Courage, intellect and ability of Maori are reflected in their playing and fighting ability. Again the sport reflects the society it is spurned from. Regards again Taha!
