The lizard sent by the gods - Part 1

As the Nazis closed in on the Anzacs on Crete during WWII, Maori captain Rangi Royal led a crazed bayonet charge at the enemy, which began with a terrifying haka. In Part 2, we will hear how Royal later saw what he believed was a sign from the Maori god of war while retreating - and led his men straight over a cliff as a result.

Author Craig Collie tells the story in his new book Where The Flaming Hell Are We?
