The Jewish Brigade:  The Jewish Brigade as Reported in the German anti-Nazi WW II Exile Newspaper Aufbau

Several of my prior posts have alluded to or focused upon the Jewish Brigade.  There’s much more to present about this fascinating topic, but first, a very (very!) brief introduction to the unit’s history…

The Brigade itself – known in popular culture and anecdotally as the “Jewish Brigade” – was actually designated the “Jewish Infantry Brigade Group”, and it was a component of the Palestine Regiment.  The latter had been formed in August of 1942, and was comprised of separate infantry companies (“Palestine Infantry Companies”) first formed in 1940.  These companies were comprised of Arabs and Jews living in Mandatory “palestine”, the companies – at that time – having been part of the Royal East Kent Regiment, otherwise known as “The Buffs”.

The Palestine Regiment was reformed in 1944, with the Jewish Brigade’s creation being announced on 20 September.  The Brigade was comprised of three infantry Battalions (1st, 2nd, and 3rd), and the 200th Field Regiment, the latter a component of the Royal Artillery.

I’ve previously covered the Jewish Brigade in Pesach with the Jewish Brigade: Italy – March, 1945, Thoughts from The Frontier: Great Sorrow and Small Solace (Jewish Frontier, January, 1945), The Reconstruction of Memory: Soldiers of Aufbau, and especially, The Reconstruction of Memory: Soldiers of Aufbau – The Struggle for A Jewish Army.  The latter post pertains to the very extensive coverage devoted by the German anti-Nazi WW II Exile Newspaper Aufbau (“Construction”) to the establishment of an independent Jewish fighting force, which was only one aspect of the newspaper’s very extensive reporting upon Jewish military participation during the Second World War.  Having reviewed all issues of Aufbau published between 1939 and 1946 (“whew”…) and some even beyond (double “whew”…) I identified about 140 articles, the vast majority in German but some in English, devoted to the Brigade.  Examples of the latter are the September 7, 1945, article” Our Boys from the Jewish Brigade Write to Aufbau – Following are excerpts from dozens of letters which Aufbau received from Palestinian soldiers serving with the Jewish Brigade”, and the final (November 9, 1945) article “The Oath of the Jewish Brigade”.  

“This” post follows the same format: Below are listed the titles and dates of publication of all articles published by Aufbau pertaining to the Jewish Brigade, subsequent to its establishment on September 20, 1944.  Akin to the post about the establishment of a Jewish Army, I’ve included the article title in the original German, followed by its English-language translation.  A few articles are accompanied by photos, as well.  

You can see that Aufbau was very attentive to the topic, with the first article appearing on September 22 of that year.  Between that date and through 1945, the newspaper had published a total of 37 articles on the Brigade, the last appearing on November 9. 

And so, here are the articles, some of which I hope to present in future posts…

The Reconstruction of Memory: Soldiers of Aufbau – Jews of The Yishuv at War

While the previous post – about Aufbau’s coverage of Jewish WW II military service – focused on general aspects of the creation of an autonomous Jewish fighting force – “this” post moves to the particular: Aufbau’s reporting on the contribution of the Jews of the Yishuv to the Allied war effort.

The primary topic covered by Aufbau in this context was the contribution of Yishuv Jewry to Britain’s armed forces, in the effort to halt the advance of the Afrika Korps, with the majority of articles of this nature having been published prior to England’s victory in the second battle of El Alamein, during late October – early November of 1942. 

Later articles are varied in their subject matter, with some pertaining to the participation of Jewish soldiers in religious services.

Beyond these articles, there is much published literature on the subject of the contribution of the Yishuv – in terms of military manpower, production of war material, scientific research, and economic and support – to the Allied war effort.    

A notable wartime publication in this regard is Pierre van Paassen’s 1943 The Forgotten Ally (published by the Dial Press in 1943).  One particular chapter of this book – “The Best-Kept Secret of the War” – covers this topic in an illuminating and (even in 2017…) and surprisingly relevant fashion. 

The chapters of van Paassen’s book are:

Author’s Preface (5-6)
Chapter I – There Are No More Prophets! (9-48)
Chapter II – Prelude to Palestine’s Liberation (49-104)
Chapter III – Britain’s Role in Palestine (105-174)
Chapter IV – The Best-Kept Secret of the War (175-236)
Chapter V – Imperialism’s Reward (237-303)
Chapter VI – The Solution (304-343)

The image below shows the front cover of the 1943 (first) edition of The Forgotten Ally…

…and, here is the back cover, with van Paassen’s portrait.

Another book, Israel Cohen’s short but substantive 1942 Britain’s Nameless Ally (published by W.H. Allen & Co., Ltd., Publishers, of London) presents information about the contribution of Yishuv Jewry to the Allied war effort in a more detailed and stylistically different fashion than van Paassen.  Statistics about the numbers of Yishuv volunteers serving in the Allied military (particularly Britain’s military) are interspersed and accompanied by quotations of and comments by notable figures in Allied military, political, and news circles.  By definition – by – timing (this book was released in 1942, after all) coverage of Jewish military service (in Chapter III, “At The Battle-Fronts”) is limited to military activity in the Western Desert, at Tobruk, in Eritrea, at Keren, in Greece, in Syria, and also in the Auxiliary Territorial Service, while attention is also accorded to Jewish military service in the Czech armed forces.   

As a nice touch, the book includes 10 photographs showing military and industrial activity in the wartime Yishuv, and, a frontpiece image of Haifa.     

The book’s chapters are:

Chapter I – The Jewish People’s Offer (1-9)
Chapter II – The Rallying of Jewish Volunteers (10-17)
Chapter III – At the Battle-Fronts (18-28)
Chapter IV – The Economic Contributions (29-34)
Chapter V – Scientific and Technical Contributions (35-37)
Chapter VI – The Government and the Jewish Offer (38-46)
Appeal by the Jewish Agency Executive (47)

In contemporary terms, Yoav Gelber’s Jewish Palestinian Volunteering in the British Army During the Second World War (published by Yad Itzhak Ben-Zvi Publications, Jerusalem) is an essential – probably “the” essential – work on this topic.  The work is comprised of four volumes, one of which (Jewish Volunteers in British Units) has been of tremendous help in my posts concerning female ATS volunteers, and, soldiers of the 462nd General Transport Company lost in the sinking of the HMS Erinpura.  Unfortunately (!) the volumes have not yet been translated into English…   

The volumes are:

Volume I – Volunteering and its Role in Zionist Policy 1939-1942, 1979
Volume II – The Struggle for a Jewish Army, 1981
Volume III – The Standard Bearers, 1983
Volume IV – Jewish Volunteers in British Units, 1984

Another relevant publication (just discovered on worldcat.org, but not yet read!) is Anat Granit-Hacohen’s Hebrew Women Join the Forces: Jewish Women From Palestine in the British Forces During the Second World War.  Translated by Ora Cummings, the book was published by Vallentine Mitchell in 2017. 

The above sources are in German, English, and Hebrew.  But, there is another publication which covered Jewish WW II military service, albeit in Yiddish: That is Eynikayt, the official newspaper of the Soviet Union’s Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee. 

In its twentieth issue, published on December 17, 1942, the paper included two photographs relating to military service of Yishuv Jewry.  One picture shows Jewish soldiers in the British army during training near Libya.  The other shows a group of women soldiers under inspection by their sergeant.  This latter image is remarkable in presenting the full names of these female soldiers, along with their places of birth or national origin.  Unfortunately – ! – neither the photographer nor the official source are listed for either image.

Future posts will cover other aspects of Aufbau’s reporting on Jewish WW II military service.

The Reconstruction of Memory: Soldiers of Aufbau – The Struggle for A Jewish Army

In my prior post, “Aufbau: The Reconstruction of Memory”, I described the German anti-Nazi WW II Exile Newspaper Aufbau (“Construction”) in terms of its coverage of Jewish military service during the Second World War.  The newspaper reported upon the military service of Jewish soldiers in detail – often great detail – yet that coverage was set within the wider context of the political, psychological, social, and moral impetus for the creation of a Jewish fighting organization – a Jewish fighting organization with at least some degree of political and military autonomy.
Discussions of and news articles about this subject were manifested in many different ways.

Some items took the form of reports about the participation of Jewish soldiers in the armed forces of the varied Allied powers; a series of four articles in January and February of 1944, under the heading “1.5 Million Jews are Fighting”, covering facets of the totality of Jewish military service in the Allied armed forces; reports on Jews in the Maquis; descriptions of the reactions and opinions (both pro and con) of political leaders and the news media regarding the creation of a Jewish fighting force, and finally, commencing in September, 1944 and most prominently appearing after the war’s end – in August and September of 1945 – a series of articles about the Jewish Brigade Group.

This post presents the titles of 139 such items in Aufbau, as well as their month of their publication.  I’ve translated some, which I hope to bring you in a future post. 

Or, more accurately, posts!
