mand of outgoing Chief of Staff
Gen. Haim Bar-Lev. During this
period, the tank corps was mod-
ernized, expanded and reached its
highest standard, with Gen. Elazar
as chief provider of original ideas
and plans for this development.
Gen. Elazar revealed that the
most difficult hours of his military
career were- on the morning of
Thursday, the fourth day of the
Six-Day War. As commander of
the Northern Front, he waited im-
patiently for the order from the
general staff in Tel Aviv to start
the Golan Heights offensive and to
free Jewish settlements from a
horror which had lasted for years
On the radio he heard that the
Security Council in New York had
already discussed a proposal for
a cease fire. He was in a bad mood
and thought anxiously that the
chance of occupying the Golan
Heights could be lost . . .
The difficult hours ended when
