Established on the 03.07.1944. Its activity ends officially in July 1946.

A brigade group of the British army that was made up of Jewish volunteers from Palestine. The Jewish Brigade was formed in 1944 and helped liberate Italy in 1945. The brigade was composed of 5,000 soldiers. The Zionist flag was chosen as its banner—making it not the first Jewish unit to fight in the war, but the first one to be recognized as representing the Jewish people. At the war's end, members of the Jewish Brigade helped prepare Displaced Persons for "illegal" immigration to Palestine. The British disbanded the brigade in July 1946.
