How many Australians served in WW2?
Military history of Australia during World War II
The RAAF's role in the strategic air offensive in Europe formed Australia's main contribution to the defeat of Germany.[57] Approximately 13,000Australian airmen served in dozens of British and five Australian squadrons in RAF Bomber Command between 1940 and the end of the war.[57] There was not a distinctive Australian contribution to this campaign, however, as most Australians served in British squadrons and the Australian bomber squadrons were part of RAF units.[58]
