Post World War II
Tilhas Tizig Gesheften (commonly known by its acronym TTG, loosely translated as "kiss my ass business") was the name of a group of Jewish Brigade members formed immediately following World War II. Under the guise of British military activity, this group engaged in the assassination of Nazis, facilitated the illegal emigration of Holocaust survivors to Israel, and smuggled weaponry to the Haganah. Assassination squads killed former SS and Wehrmacht officers who had participated in atrocities against European Jews. Information regarding the whereabouts of these war criminals was gathered either by torturing imprisoned Nazis or by way of military connections.
After assignment to the VIII Corps District of the British Army of the Rhine (Schleswig-Holstein), the Jewish Brigade was disbanded in the summer of 1946.
