Reply to comment by Y34rZer0 in They fled persecution in Nazi Germany. Then the British put them behind barbed wire by lanzkron

Holup.. no they did not go to Uluru. Why would they? It’s out of range for them and nothing useful there anyway. Darwin, Sydney, Melbourne, Cairns and Broome, sure. Those flights happened. But there is zero reason for any Japanese plane to go to Uluru..

They weren’t going TO uluṟu, they were flying reconnaissance and got that far inland before turning around, I assume because they needed fuel

Umm but why would they waste fuel going that far inland even if they had the range? There’s nothing there. The one thing of military interest there, the Woomera range, wasn’t established until 1947. I can’t find a single source for this.
