Dunno about the magazine article but the official histories are all on line, so you can access the source material for free.

Here’s the volume on New Guinea:

Oh, I neatly forgot. This site will give you the German uniforms and a little detail on their forces.

I remember that issue. And Iam sure I have it in my WI collection!
How urgent is it?

Took a look at the article in the WI Vault. Pretty amusing although it doesn’t sound like it was much of a fight. There are a lot better figures now for the New Guinea troops now than when that article was written too. Thanks for the heads up. It was a fun read!
