Inquiry on john pohe
John was the first Maori pilot in World War 2. He was captured by Germans and was part of the Great Escape. He escaped the Germans and was re-captured. He was killed on Hitler’s orders by the Gestapo at the age of 29. He lived from 1915-1944. His death date was in March 1944. He joined the army when he was 24 in 1939.
John Had recently been living in Taihape with his whanau. Back in the old days New Zealanders use to live on farms instead of motels or hotels or fancy houses like we do! They didn’t complain about coming dirty or working late. No made up excuses for not doing their homework! They were respectful and obedient! The girls stayed inside while the boys worked outside.
At the age of 22 John left to go to war. He was given the position of the first Maori Pilot. He was shot down by Germans and became part of the Great Escape. In prison John obviously tried making a plan to escape. They all failed. Except for one!
John, and some other famous guys, dug a hole to get out of the prison. This was called The Great Escape. John and some other men were re-captured by the Gestapo and were shot and killed on Hitler's commands.
