Haane Manahi of the 28th Māori Battalion is told that taking the German desert fortress of Takrouna will be a ‘cakewalk’. But when the chain of command collapses under enemy fire, Haane leads a small group of Māori Battalion soldiers – all related, all cousins – up a precipitous cliff face and into the pages of history – where his Victoria Cross recommendation and its downgrade continue to echo throughout his descendants today. WWII. True story.
