German Tribute To New Zealanders

(Received 2 p.m.) (Official N.Z.E.F. War Correspondent) DIVISIONAL lIDQRS., May 21.

“Whenever he uses New Zealanders, the enemy gets good results.” So reads a report on our method of lighting submitted to the German First Paratroop Division by its machine-gun battalion which opposed New Zealanders when, In the middle of March, they attacked and captured Cassino station area.

A copy of the report was found on a recently captured paratrooper. According to the report, our attacks are prepared by strongly well-placed artillery fire, which, when the attack develops, holds off the opposing artillery. Engineers are employed mainly in quick repair of bridges and roads. “They are very skilful in removal of mines, and able to clear obstacles away very quickly,” it is stated.

Under all headings concerned with dealing with our methods in defence appears the remark “no experience of them.”
