Hagannah
The Haganah was the main Zionist paramilitary organization in British Mandate Palestine (1920-1948) that became the core of the Israel Defense Forces upon Israeli independence.
The Hagannah was the military arm of the Zionist movement in Palestine. In 1936, it requested a chemist to help produce an effective high explosive for use in the underground war against the Arabs and the British. Ernst David Bergmann was assigned this mission and subsequently joined the Hagannah's technical committee.1
