The opening as it read in 2005
Palmach (in Hebrew - " פלמ"ח ") was the regular fighting force of the Haganah (the underground army of Jewish settlers during the British mandate in Palestine ).1The Palmach was established on May 15 , 1941 .2By the war of 1948 it had grown from humble beginnings to three fighting divisions and auxiliary aerial, naval and intelligence units. Being a Palmachnik (Palmach member) was considered not only as performing military duties, but also as a way of life. Significant leaders of the Palmach include Moshe Dayan , Itzhak Sadeh , Yigal Allon and Yitzhak Rabin .3The Palmach contributed significantly to Israeli culture and ethos, way beyond its undoubtable military contribution.4 Its members formed the backbone of the Israeli Defence Forces high command for many years, and were prominent in Israeli politics, literature and culture.
