First Arab - Israeli War 1948 - COLD WAR DOCUMENTARY

Interesting fact: most of the weapons that Czechoslovakia (I apologize if I spelled that wrong) sent to the Israelis were, in fact, surplus weapons that had been manufactured for the Wermacht in WW2.

As such many, if not all of them, had improperly calibrated or sabotaged sights, which the Czechs had intended to mess with the Germans, but they forgot to inform the IDF about it until after the weapons had been shipped, issued and the Israelis had found out about the messed up sights. 

Still, it must have struck several of the Jews as ironic that they were now using Czech Vz. 24s, Kar98ks and other weapons made for the Nazis, to defend themselves, along with a smattering of American, British, Russian and even homemade weapons.

The most badass thing in this war was trusting one PIAT to defend a whole settlement
