Whakakiia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I āwangawanga a Hitler mēnā ko Kariki <unk>i te 28 o Oketopa 1940
i whawhai ki nga Itari i Albania, ka noho hei hoa piri a Ingarangi, katahi ka taea e nga waahi hinu o Ploesti i Romania, i whakawhirinaki ai a Tiamana mo tana wahie, kia tuwhera ki te whakaeke rererangi mai i Kariki. I te mea e whakamahere ana nga Tiamana i te whakaekenga o Ruhia mo Hune 1941, kaore i taea e ratou te tuku i taua riri ki a raatau taonga hinu nui, no reira ka tiimata te whakamahere i te whakaekenga o Kariki. I te Poutu-te-rangi 1941, i whakaae te Pirimia o Ahitereiria, a Robert Menzies, me te whakaaetanga o tana Kawanatanga, ki te tuku i nga hoia o Ahitereiria ki Kariki ki te tiaki i te whakaeke a Tiamana. I whakaaro a Menzies me te rangatira o te I Corps, a Blamey, he morearea te mahi, ka mutu pea he aitua, engari i kii a Menzies me tautoko a Kariki ki te whakaeke a Tiamana, me te tiaki i a Kariki he "mate nui mo te kaupapa pai".
