The Jewish Brigade is stationed along the Italian border with Austria and Yugoslavia after the German surrender.

Some members, acting under instructions from Palestine rather than the British Army, begin exacting revenge among those Germans at hand who are deemed guilty of war crimes.

At the same time the Brigade acts as an unofficial relief agency for Jewish survivors, often sending convoys on rescue missions far beyond the brigade's cantonment.

A certain amount of arms smuggling continues, but most importantly the brigade opens transportation routes to ports from which, against British policy, European Jews sail to Palestine.

Among those departing are growing numbers of Jewish men of military age trained by the brigade in fieldcraft and use of weapons.
