Benutzer:Buessl/Jewish Settlement Police
Die Jewish Settlement Police war eine Unterabteilung der Notrim gegründet 1936 inPalästina. Die J.S.P wurde von der Haganah zu einer Elite Truppe ausgebildet.[1] Die Mitglieder der J.S.P bekannt als Nodedot, wurden von ihrem Kommandant Yitzhak Sadeh in der unkonventionelle Kriegsführung, hoher Mobilität und für Überraschungsangriffe ausgebildet. Gemäss Katz, "the Arabs feared them greatly".[2] The force was estimated to be 16 000 men and women strong in 1946.[3]
The Settlement Police cooperated with the British to form a joint British-Jewish unit known as the Special Night Squads. These were commanded by a "fervent Christian Zionist"[4] British officer called Charles Orde Wingate, who was posted to Palestine in 1936. They fought Arab guerillas who attacked the Iraqi Petroleum Company pipeline.
