Jevrejski padobranci iz Palestine za vreme Drugog svetskog rata

Abstract

Članak govori o jevrejskim padobrancima za vreme Drugog svetskog rata. Prema planu “Vaad Lahacala", Odbora za spasavanje, pri Egzekutivi Jevrejske agencije za Palestinu trebalo je da se u ugrožene jevrejske zajednice u nekima zemljama Evrope ubaci nekoliko desetina padobranaca. Njihova uloga bila je da uz pomoć oslobodilačkih pokreta i pokreta otpora u tim zemljama, vrše razne akcije sabotaže, bekstva iz geta i logora, akcije spasavanja i slično kao i da organizuju samoodbranu i otpor Jevreja koji su još bili na slobodi. Za taj posao je preko 200 mladića i devojaka dobilo padobransku i obuku za komandose, što u Egiptu, što u Palestini. U akciji su učestvovala 32 jevrejska padobranca, od kojih 4 devojke. Ubačeni su u 7 okupiranih zemalja, među kojima i u Jugoslaviju. Partizanske snage pomogale su da se u ovoj akciji nekoliko jevrejskih padobranaca prebaci u Mađarsku.

The article is about Jewish parachutists during World War II. According to the plan of the "Vaad Lahacala" (Rescue Committee, the Executive Agency of the Palestine Jewish Agency), several dozen parachutists needed to infiltrate in jeopardized Jewish communities in some European countries. Their role was to help the liberation and resistance movements in those countries, carry out various acts of sabotage, escape from the ghetto and camps, rescue operations, etc., as well as to organize the self-defence and resistance of the Jews who were still on freedom. For this work, over 200 young men and girls received parachute and commandos training in Egypt and Palestine. In the action participated 32 Jewish parachutists, 4 of them were girls. They infiltrated to 7 occupied countries, including Yugoslavia. Partisan forces helped transfer several Jewish paratroopers to Hungary.
