A 37-year-old Ukrainian Pole Vladislav Zhidek, was shot dead While he was sitting in the Sichel Cafe in Ben Yehuda Road in Jerusalem about 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. When a Red Shield ambulance arrived, the crew found Zhidek had been killed by a number of bullets in the head. He was attacked by one of two young men who walked into the cafe, fired a revolver at point-blank range and then left. A girl who was reported to be sitting with Zhidek was unhurt.
Zhidek was also known as Michael Kliszczuk. Pictures found in his pockets showed him with other men near a Gestapo building decorated with swastikas. Later, it was learned that he had been shot by the Stern gang.
A former SS Sturmbann-fuhrer, he had also been a high-ranking official in one of the districts of German-occupied Poland. He came to Palestine in 1941 and was arrested as a Nazi spy and was sent to Mezra, Latrun and, then Wilhelmina .
He was reportedly in contact with Arab gangs and was due to go to Syria to train Arabs. He had been employed for some time at Allenby Barracks. It was officially reported that no witnesses to the shooting had come forward.</blockquote>

Feb. 20. (JTA) --
Arab agents are today recruiting mercenaries to fight against the Jews in Palestine from among the Yugoslav Ustashi and Chetniks and the Ukrainians, Albanians, Circassians (former inhabitants of the northwestern area of the Caucasus) and other groups here who were on Hitler’s side during the war, and are now under the care of the International Refugee Organization.
Able-bodied men, both inside and outside the I.R.O. camps, who are between 22 and 32 years of age, and who accept the Arab terms of payment–their fares to the middle East and maintenance of their families in exchange for their pledge to serve in the Arab forces for at least one year–are being given visas by the governments of Egypt, Syria and Transjordan. Where the mercenaries are of Moslem origin they are being officially "resettled" by formal negotiations between the governments concerned and the I.R.0. which, however, disclaims any knowledge of what use the individuals are put to on arriving in the Middle East.</blockquote>

Nazi Officers Leading Arabs Against Jewry, Reporter Says.
(Kenneth Dixon, famous war correspondent, describes in the following exclusive International News Service story from Palestine, how Nazi officers have turned up in the Holy Land, where they are lead Arabs in their fight against the Jews. The account is based on official Jewish documents and Dixon's own impressions after a secret visit to a Jewish border outposts).
by Kenneth Dixon
I.N.S. Staff Correspondent ...1948.
TEL Aviv, Feb. 25 - Jewish intelligence are claiming that former Nazi officers are training and leading Arabs in their war against Palestine Jewry.
These officers told me that they had captured former Wehrmacht officers and that once again Jews are being forced to to fight Nazis in the struggle for existence.
This war correspondent was visibly impressed too.
During a secret trip to a lonely Jewish frontier post, I watched in amazement as Arabs deployed and attacked in a manner highly reminicent of German assaults I witnessed in Europe in World War II.
But there is additional proof:
Documentary evidence, provided in papers, taken from the bodies of former German soldiers, slain by Haganah fighters, backs up the Jewish claim.
The Jewish officers I spoke to said that anywhere from 40[0?] to 500 German soldiers are serving with the Arabs.
The Nazis are believed to have come mainly from North Africa after the defeat of Rommel's Afrika Corps. Others are said to have infiltrated into the Holy Land after V-E Day.
The Jews say that some of these Germans may have been close associates of the Grand Mufti, the Arab spiritual leader who was extremely friendly with Adolf Hitler.
Many of the Germans, the Jews told me, "very conveniently" managed to escape prisoner of war camps in the Middle East.
Together with estimated 1,500 "volunteers" who have crossed into Palestine from neighboring Arab countries, the Germans are said to be awaiting the surrender of the British mandate next May, at which time they will start their all-out attack.
Some of the Germans, the Jews claim, they captured still bear tattoo marks of the Nazi 'SS' - the dread Nazi elite guards.
My visits to the Jewish border outpost was made in a company of members of Palmach, the shock troops of the Haganah, Jewish defense army.
The Arabs made several attacks during the night. One large force directed their assault at the position I visited.
I observed that they did not employ skirmishing tactics usually associated with Arab soldiers, but engaged the Jews in a high concentrated and coordinated actions.
During a lull in the fighting, I turned to a young Haganah leader and said:
- "They fight almost like the Germans."
He laughed and replied:
- "They should. They were trained by the Germans and are probably being led by Germans tonight."
Shortly thereafter, the Palmach fighters met the Arabs head-on in another sector. The Jewish leaders reported they distinctly heard orders being shouted in German - "achtung" (attention) and "schwein" (swine).
In Tel Aviv a few days ago, an Arab taxi driver noticed my blond, close-cropped hair and asked, "Are you German?"
When I said no, he grinned, shrugged in disbelief and said it would be alright if I were German.
Responsible Haganah officers, who earned innumerable decorations fighting with the Jewish Brigade in the British Army in North Africa and Italy, have cited seversl incidents of finding German army papers on captured Wehrmacht veterans.
There is a difference of opinion among the Jews, however, as to whether the British are involved in the alleged infiltration of the Germans.
Older Haganah leaders say the British could do nothing about the situation even if they knew about it. but the younger Palmach men insist the British are aiding the Germans.
All are in agreement that the quality of the Arab fighting has improved tremendously wherever ex-Wehrmacht officers are known to be operating.
The Palmach Patrol Commander said:
"Even one experienced officer can improve the fighting tactics of thousands of men in a short while."
But far worse than the immediate presence of Germans in the Holy Land, the Jews say, are the future dangers.
The Jews fear that the hopes of a future peace between themselves and the Arabs will be greatly lessoned by the growing number of Nazis in Palestine.
The seeds of the brutal Nazi ideology that once almost succeeded in destroying them, the Jews assert, are being sown in the land where its survivors sought refuge.</blockquote></ref>
