Orde Wingate

[mgt23]

Major-General Orde Charles Wingate, DSO and two bars (26 February 1903–24 March 1944), was a British Army officer and creator of special military units in World War II and Palestine in the 1930s.

A highly religious man, Wingate became a supporter of Zionism, seeing it as his Christian duty to help the Jewish community in Palestine form a Jewish state. Assigned to the British Mandate of Palestine in 1936, he set about training members of the Haganah, the Jewish paramilitary organization, which became the Israel Defense Forces with the establishment in 1948 of the state of Israel.[5]
