    In 1938 Moshe Dayan was part of the British-blessed Plugot Sadeh and later of the British-commanded Special Night Squads.

    He was a low-rank commander (certainly not The commander) until 1941, when he was injured and retired temporarily until 1947.

    The British were fighting the Arab Revolt from 1936 until 1939. But not really fighting Germans until 1939 (or even 1940, if you consider actual fights).

    But that was not in the years of 1940-1942, “even when Britain fought to keep Germany out of the region” (as you wrote above).

    Indeed roughly in 1943 the Irgun decided it was time to fight the Brits again (under the new leadership of Begin). But the Haganah (the much larger of all) did not resume that until after the war in 1945.
