 Ben Dunkelman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ben Dunkelman (1913–1997) was a Canadian Jew who became a war hero for his efforts in World War II, when he enlisted with the Queen's Own Rifles and fought on some of the worst battlefields of the war during the allied Operation Overlord, including Caen, Falaise, and the Scheldt.
He arrived there at a time when the Israeli army was short of officers with combat experience, and he became the commander of the 7th Brigade, the country's best-known armored brigade.
In his autobiography, Dunkelman tells the story of how, between July 8 and 18, 1948 during Operation Dekel, he led the 7th Brigade and its supporting units as it moved successfully to capture the town of Nazareth (Dunkelman 1984).

Yes, I´m sorry about that: it was quite inaccurate of me; I should not only have said "Ben Dunkelman", have should have said "Ben Dunkelman and related articles", in view of this [4].

Your Oct. 19 article "1948 War Vets To Be Honored" properly pays tribute to those young Canadians of the Machal whose Zionist commitment was matched by their readiness to shed their blood for a cause most Jews believed in deeply.
Most were prepared to contribute monetarily but these men made by far the most selfless and meaningful contribution, men like Joe Warner, and the legendary Major Ben Dunkelman.
Men who believed on two occasions, that if one didn't have principles - people and even countries so precious to them that they were worth dying for - their lives were without meaning.
