The S.I.G. were German-speaking Jewish volunteers from Palestine who posed as Germans to gain vital intelligence. In 1942, the British army was locked in a deadly back-and-forth struggle in the North African desert with Erwin Rommel's Afrika Korps. A small band of soldiers were selected by the British for a unique mission. These men could speak fluent German because they were the children of German Jews, victims of the holocaust. They were called the Special Interrogation Group, the S.I.G. and their task was to infiltrate the German lines. Few were as motivated as 40 or so men ready to risk immediate execution in order to strike at the Nazis behind the front lines. The last surviving member of the S.I.G., 93 year old Maurice Tiefenbrunner speaks just a few years before his death about the group's astonishing adventures.
