FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Keith Barton was an electrician with the Australian forces in Darwin when the Japanese bombed the city 70 years ago.
He says those gathered never fired a shot when the Japanese approached, as they thought they were American planes coming to help the war effort.
“I had a .303 rifle but being a tradesman the last thing I knew was how to fire the thing,” Mr Barton, aged 90, said on Sunday.
Even if he could have fired it, ammunition was too precious to be handed out to those not expected to be shooting, he said.
“So it was watch them come and watch them go.”
He said the events were frightening to experience and the noise was deafening.
Mr Barton was one of about 90 veterans who gathered on a hot morning in Darwin on Sunday to remember the anniversary of the events of 1942.
Ray China, aged 88, worked in a general store in Darwin when the bombings began, and said no siren went off when the planes first approached.
He was ultimately to experience Japanese bombing raids in China, where he went to school, Darwin and at Katherine.
Seeing the bombings encouraged him to ultimately join the air force.
