@MrSicc274 they were better soldiers than pakeha

i found this from a site
The battalion, which was often used as a spearhead attacking unit, earned a fierce fighting reputation and the respect of German Field Marshall Erwin Rommel.
"The Germans knew we came to fight, and when our men did their haka there was no humbug about it - but that's war for you," said Mr Paraone. "Rommel reckoned if he had 10,000 Maori he would have conquered the world."

@boxing238 its just my opinion ,i look at it this way ,the maori hunted nazi's [inglorious bastards],they were brothers & kinsmen [band of brothers],the maori had more than 10 sets of brothers fighting in 1 battilion [saving private ryan],& all these films never say that there was other units in the war that had the same history,its because the americans etc want to uphold the myth that they are superior & immortal,

Rommel said that if he had 1 million Maori soldiers, he would of won the war.

I hate white kiwis who put down Maori's when we fought for your homeland in the Beor War, World War1 & World War 2! You people would never fight for us.. Our people died for you guys. And still got nothing for it
