The Dogs of War That Helped the Early Zionist Enterprise Survive
This year is the 50th anniversary of the death of Rudolphina Menzel, the mother of the Israeli army's canine unit and probably the only person in the world who trained dogs for the Nazis, the British and the Zionist underground in Palestine
In 1945, a six-member squad belonging to the Haganah, the pre-state Zionist militia, set out for a reprisal raid. The target was an Arab man who had sexually assaulted Jewish women in the Jordan Valley, though a British court released him.
With the help of a local veterinarian, the fighters practiced castration on animals. When they felt they were ready, they abducted their victim from his home and carried out their plan. How did they escape without being traced by the British forces' dogs?
Here Rudolphina Menzel, a legendary dog trainer in the Jewish community at the time, entered the picture. The members of the squad consulted had with her, and Menzel advised them to take off their shoes, walk on the railway tracks part of the way and in water for another part.
This strange story appears in the new English-language book “Canine Pioneer: The Extraordinary Life of Rudolphina Menzel,” edited by Susan Martha Kahn. Its articles shed light on the life of Menzel, the mother of the Israeli military's canine unit, Oketz.
This year is the 50th anniversary of her death. She was probably the only person in the world who trained dogs for the Nazis, the British army and the Zionist underground in Palestine, one after the other. But she dedicated most of her life to training dogs for the Jewish community in British Palestine after escaping the Nazis and moving there from Austria in 1938.
“The dog of the Jewish settlers became famous as a fighter that struck fear in every enemy,” she later said. “A wreath of legends surrounded these dogs and their marvelous deeds.”
Surpassing human intelligence
Menzel’s story begins in 1933 with the mysterious killing of Chaim Arlosoroff, a leader of the pre-state Jewish community. The British indicted three members of right-wing groups, but they were acquitted.
Against the backdrop of this mystery, the British police believed they needed to replace human trackers with dogs, so they sent two officers to South Africa who returned a few months later in the company of three Dobermans.
Sure enough, the British increasingly used dogs to help quell the Arab Revolt, which took place from 1936 to 1939. Court testimony by dog trainers was used against suspects, and dogs helped the authorities solve attacks on British targets. Dogs were also flown to crime scenes.
“From their kennels at the top of Mount Scopus the dogs could reach every corner of Palestine within a few minutes, and the British hoped this would deter the rebels,” Blum writes in a Hebrew-language article published in the Van Leer Institute's journal Theory and Criticism.
He added that in the first year of the revolt, the dogs helped solve 87 of 172 investigations in which there was no clear suspect at the outset. One case began in August 1936, when the body of an armed man was discovered but it was impossible to identify him or the killer.
The dogs, which were flown to the site, led the investigators to the suspect's home about 8 kilometers (5 miles) away, writes Blum, a professor at University of California Law, San Francisco. In the house the investigators found explosives, gunpowder and a picture of the deceased.
Two British advisers who were sent to British Palestine in September 1937 to help put down the revolt devoted a chapter in their report to the canine unit.
Blum quotes them: When it comes to the fight against crime, the senses of these Dobermans surpass human intelligence.
In a report, they recommended that the British police in Palestine significantly increase their number of tracking dogs.
“The Arab Revolt made it difficult for the police to employ Bedouin trackers, because beyond the unreliability of the evidence they provided, their loyalty to the British Mandate government was in doubt,” Blum writes. “So Dobermans, which had no independent political opinions, became an attractive alternative.”
The British increased their stable of dogs, but eventually demand outstripped supply. In 1938, a year before World War II, the British were even forced to buy dogs from Germany.
“A British official in the Colonial Office noted the irony in the fact that His Majesty’s Government was requesting the assistance of the German government in supplying dogs meant for catching Arabs suspected of killing Jews,” Blum writes.
In the '40s, the British started using dogs against the Jewish underground movements too. Dogs helped investigate the attempt to assassinate High Commissioner Harold MacMichael. They also helped the police identify suspects in the attack on the Kfar Vitkin police station north of Tel Aviv, and discovered a stash of weapons near Biriya in the Upper Galilee.
Starting in 1940, the British bought their military dogs from Menzel. She trained the canines, which were then provided to the British every month for the North Africa campaign.
They had Hebrew names like Barak, Boaz and Anak. As Menzel later described it, the British appreciated “the value of the dogs, the product of Israeli training in the tough battle against the fascists. … Our dogs suited the demands of the hour, not only because of their traits but because they were acclimated to the region.”
The British ordered about 400 dogs from Menzel during the war, most of them Boxers and German Shepherds. In a report to the Jewish Agency in 1942, she listed the tasks the dogs were trained for, including guarding camps and ammunition, tracking spies, locating paratroopers, preventing sabotage, rescuing the wounded, carrying ammunition and even discovering mines.
Several of the articles in the book on Menzel were written by Israelis including Tammy Bar-Joseph, a dog trainer who studies humans' relationship with dogs in Israel. She's also an expert on the study of dogs' role in the Holocaust.
Another article was by Lea Lehavi, a graduate of the Oketz Unit who wrote her master's thesis on Menzel at Tel Aviv University.
In the Zionist Archives and the Haganah Historical Archives, Lehavi found documents showing show Menzel's dogs were appreciated. “Members of the British army of all ranks highly praised the acts of heroism of these four-legged combat friends,” she quotes one document.
A senior British officer even said during a visit to Menzel’s institute: The Palestinian dogs have only one shortcoming – they aren’t available in an even greater number.
His deputy added: We already know that the Jewish soldiers know everything and we can’t teach them anything about combat theory. Now we have to learn this again regarding the four-legged soldiers that you're giving us.
Menzel, however, had one condition: The British couldn't use the dogs against Jews. The British kept their promise, she said.
Zionist's best friend
Menzel (née Waltuch) was born in 1891 in Vienna and would earn a doctorate in psychology, biology and biochemistry. She was also captivated by the Zionist movement. At 24 she married Rudolph Menzel, a physician, and the couple moved to Linz, Austria, where her interest in dogs began. The Menzels launched a research institute for canine behavior and training.
Her training of dogs for Germany and Austria included these countries' armies. “Later the Nazis used these dogs against Jews, and even when they discovered that the dogs responded to orders in Hebrew, orders came down from the Nazi leadership not to interfere with Dr. Menzel’s training methods, despite the difficulty involved,” Lehavi writes.
A German newspaper wrote after the Nazis' rise to power that “the pair of Zionist researchers is forcing the Germans – indirectly and deliberately – to speak Hebrew.”
The start of her connection with the Jewish community in Palestine came in 1932, when Yitzhak Ben-Zvi, who later became Israel’s president, and Yaakov Pat, the Haganah commander in Jerusalem, asked her to train guard dogs for new Jewish towns and agricultural communities.
So Haganah envoys visited her farm in Austria, where they learned the secrets of the trade. Some returned to Palestine with dogs that would serve as trackers and in combat roles; there was also a dog trained to pull people out of the water.
Menzel also visited British Palestine several times and taught courses on her expertise. Thanks to her, when World War II broke out the Jewish community had combat, patrol, guard and rescue dogs, as well as dogs for discovering mines.
“We lived among people who would have become victims without the alertness and courage of these dogs, and the same is true for forests and communities that would have burned without their help,” she once said.
“Our people's national revival movement builds bridges to ancient times, skipping over many generations. And with dogs we have to skip over many generations and build bridges to an ancient tradition of the nation of shepherds and farmers in the ancient Land of Israel. … Only the dog went beyond its species to become a friend and helper to man. Let it serve us too as a friend and helper in building our country.”
Menzel trained dogs for guarding Jewish communities when weapons were scarce because of British restrictions. In 1945, Kibbutz Gezer southeast of Tel Aviv had two Boxers that had been trained by Menzel. One kibbutznik was impressed by the respect shown for the dogs by Arab neighbors when they came to congratulate the kibbutzniks upon the founding of their community that year.
At night the dogs joined the guards, and one man from Gezer said they could identify figures 2 kilometers away. Without their help, he added, the kibbutz would have had a hard time settling the land. The same document says Menzel claimed that her dogs could distinguish between Jews and Arab based on smell.
After World War II, Menzel advised the underground movements, especially the Haganah, on how to evade tracking by British dogs. When the British moved to raid the underground's arsenals, Menzel was asked for advice on how the British dogs could be confused in their searches. Her advice: Don't dig new pits, because fresh sand is worse for foiling dogs.
After the 1947-49 War of Independence, Menzel established the Canine Research and Training Institution near Haifa. Originally the institute was designed to help disabled Israeli soldiers from the war. The first dog to be trained there was a Boxer whose leg was injured in the war.
Menzel, who lived in the Haifa suburbs, had no children. “Menzel’s story has a gender aspect, since she, as a professional but also as a woman, broke through a male defense establishment and the establishment for settling the country,” Lehavi writes.
But she adds that Menzel “didn’t attribute a gender aspect or precedent to her activities, but was always totally immersed in and dedicated to the professional aspects.”
