| Hi Gabriel. All the books that I’ve read on the subject, including Schiff’s "History of the Israeli Army," Morris’ "1948," Herzog’s "Arab-Israeli wars" and Stein’s "The Making of Modern Israel 1948-1967," note that Germans and Yugoslav Muslims and pro-Axis members joined forces with the Arabs and served as volunteers. Most, especially the Germans had prior military training. As for the Yugoslavs, Stein puts the figure at 500 which is not an insignificant number. So if the other mainstream sources that have written about the war include these figures and important facts, why should we do the same for our article? Moreover, the Israeli column includes foreign volunteers so it would make perfect sense to include this aspect on the Arab column as well. Just as an aside, I found from a movie called "Hill 24 doesn’t answer" that may be of interest (though I am not using it to bolster my argument). It involves the interaction between an Israeli and a Nazi during the 1948 war.--] (]) 16:03, 13 January 2012 (UTC) | |||

Hi Gabriel.

So if the other mainstream sources that have written about the war include these figures and important facts, why should we do the same for our article? Moreover, the Israeli column includes foreign volunteers so it would make perfect sense to include this aspect on the Arab column as well. Just as an aside, I found this clip from a movie called "Hill 24 doesn’t answer" that may be of interest (though I am not using it to bolster my argument). It involves the interaction between an Israeli and a Nazi during the 1948 war.--Jiujitsuguy (talk) 16:03, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
