The sergeant who stayed pushed through five machine‑gun nests and bought time
This episode explores the ten-day battle for Sattelberg, a critical Lutheran mission in New Guinea, and the extraordinary decision of one sergeant that defied orders and changed the course of the conflict. It examines why this particular hill was so fiercely contested and how conventional tactics failed.
Person: Sergeant Tom Derrick
Date: November 1943
Location: Sattelberg, New Guinea
Conflict: World War II
Japanese Commander: Colonel Sadahiko Sadahiko
- The Lutheran mission at Sattelberg, 900 meters above sea level, offered a strategic view of the Australian supply line.
- Japanese forces under Colonel Sadahiko Sadahiko had fortified Sattelberg with five strongpoints and dug-in machine guns.
- Australian Brigadier David Whitehead's 26th Brigade began the assault on November 15, supported by Matilda infantry tanks.
- The Japanese 80th Infantry Regiment was on quarter rations and could not be resupplied, but was ordered to inflict maximum casualties.
- Japanese Type 92 heavy machine guns, known as "Woodpeckers," were positioned to target infantry supporting the tanks on the narrow mountain tracks.
