6677 Orchard Lake Rd., S. of Maple
arouse no suspicion from the
British authorities.
And so, within a period of 22
days — the tireless construction
team looked upon the task as
"holy work"— a 30-foot-deep hole
was dug: 100 feet long, 24 feet
wide and 101/2 feet high and en-
cased in walls and ceiling 1 1/2
feet thick. Our tour guide took us
down the ladder and into the fac-
tory, now redesigned as a display
area, with life-size cardboard fig-
ures manning the various pieces
of machinery.
We noted the high ceilings of
the large hall and the pillars
which supported it and divided
the space into sections. Some
were insulated for handling haz-
ardous materials like gunpowder
and others were sound-proofed
as firing ranges. Soundproofing,
we noted, was further enhanced
by an asphalt roof and a layer of
soil 10 1/2 feet thick.
Additional layers of thick mat-
tresses filled the space between
the bottom of the oven and the
ceiling of the arms plant below.
The oven's chimney, our guide ex-
plained, allowed for the flow of
fresh air into the factory; the
laundry smokestack was the
vent, discharging polluted air out-
side.
Who would operate the army
factory? Haganah approached a
group of young men and women
who had planned to create their
own kibbutz nearby along the
Mediterranean coast. Would they
postpone their dream, "for the du-
ration," and produce ammo in-
stead of apples? After heated
discussion on the proposed mis-
sion, the would-be kibbutzniks
agreed unanimously to make 9
mm. bullets
And so they did, for three
years, producing them under the
most difficult conditions. Despite
the ventilation through the oven
chimney and good fluorescent
lighting, the health of the un-
derground workers deteriorated.
The combination of fumes, noise,
dust from the sheets of copper
from which the bullet cases were
made, the heat of the machines
and the lack of sunlight left the
mark of a prison pallor, aches and
general weakness.
Dr. Yosef Coft, head of Magen
David Adorn, the Haganah first-
aid service, was summoned for
consultation. He urged a regular
routine of enriched food and large
quantities of milk — produced
"topside" — vitamins and daily
treatments with a sunlamp. The
workers survived, if they did not
actually thrive, on the good doc-
tor's regimen; and they main-
tained full production until the
final armistice with the Arabs
was signed in the autumn of
1948.
Throughout, the secret of their
clandestine labors had been care-
ful guarded. Few in Palestine, or
in Israel after independence was
achieved, knew of their existence.
