Description

On 5 September 1941, Prime Minister Joseph Savage announced that New Zealand would be joining World War Two. Even thought New Zealand was in the war to support Britain and the Commonwealth, it made it's own formal declaration of war on Germany. Major battles fought by the defence forces (army, navy and air force) were in Greece, Italy, North Africa, Japan and the Pacific.
