Descriere fișier
| Descriere |
English: When the Second World War broke out in 1939, the New Zealand Government offered Royal New Zealand Airforce aircrew training in England to the Royal Air Force (RAF). The British Air Ministry gave them the defunct No.75 Squadron numberplate on 4 April 1940, which meant that the nucleus of this New Zealand squadron remained together as an operational unit within the RAF. They were renamed No.75 (NZ) Squadron, and saw constant action in Europe from 1940 until VE Day. The squadron flew more sorties than any other Allied heavy bomber squadron, suffered the second most casualties, and dropped the second largest weight of bombs.
On 23 September 1940, No.75 (NZ) Squadron took part in the first 100-plus bomber raid on Berlin. The night raid caused minimal damage, but highlighted the increasing size of Allied attacks on Berlin - a city at the extreme range attainable by British bombers. However, as well as dropping bombs, the Squadron also dropped 'mental dynamite' in the form of propaganda pamphlets. "Leaflets in many forms and languages were distributed throughout the war," notes the Squadron's history. These were designed to "raise the moral of the peoples of occupied lands and lower the moral of the Nazis." The leaflets above are just some of the many dropped by No.75 Squadron between September 1940 and August 1941 (there are more in the file at Archives New Zealand: www.archway.archives.govt.nz/ViewFullItem.do?code=18631888). In the flyer on the left (titled 'Revenge'), Hermann Goring is accused of making the false promise that not a single bomb would drop on the Ruhr; while the flyer on the right implies that Germany has met its match in Great Britain.
