Even though NZ was never directly attacked, they contributed more combat troops (as a percentage of population) that the US and Britain proper combined.
NZ had a higher combat death rate per million population than the US, Britain or Australia.
NZ was in a formal, declared state of war against the Axis than any Commonwealth nation except for Britain and Australia, and for over a year longer than the US.
73 NZ pilots serving with the RAF qualified as aces in the ETO.

And this really drives home how much I agree with you in how they handled their mass shooting. I think NZ handled WW2 amazingly and I also think they handled their Mosque shooting recently in the same way.
