@@hoaniashton5147 28 Maori Battalion, 2NZEF. Four days after the end of the Maori part (23 March, 1944) in the 3rd battle of Monte Cassino. These men are a mix of tribes as some of the men do not know the items. The front row are clearly men of Ngāti Porou East Coast as the items Hitara Waha Huka (composed Oct, 1943) and the haka Ponga Ra are Ngati Porou classics. They are likely from a recently arrived reinforcement group as the battalion had been in Italy since Oct 1943. Think I could spy Padre Huata in the group, which makes sense as he had a group of troubadours (musicians and entertainers) that are accompanying the performance.

"Te purari paka a Hitler e" - That bloody bugger Hitler lol we need these waiata back

@@robrekkit2132 Not quite accurate. The French Moroccans circled the Germans and they pulled out. The Poles defeated an empty abbey.
Young brave men Lest we forget
these men are held in the highest esteem almost demigod like to us
Wow what a brilliant video from World War 2. Much love and respect to my Kiwi cousins from the Land downunder
I'm very proud to be a descendant of such warriors and great men... Thank you and lest we forget ❤
Chur e hoa, do u think the boys here aren’t goi g as hard in the haka? It seems so campy, not as bad as the 70s All Blacks haka
@@moonknight4053 just looks very different to how they haka nowadays... Looks no different to the 70s style Colin meads and Syd Going etc... Chur

Do you have a source for this quote? I have heard variations of this story, but no one can give a source, probably because the story is apocryphal.

Yep 28th Maori Battalion.
28 battalion.5 brigade 2nd NZ division
