Jewish Legion (Anders Army)

The Jewish Legion was a proposed military unit intended to be part of the Polish Anders' Army in the Soviet Union during World War II. Never fully realized, it was evacuated from the Soviet Union and made its way through Iran to Palestine. Upon arrival, many people with the legion joined the ranks of the Yishuv in Mandatory Palestine.
