During World War II, many individuals from various countries participated in the fight against Nazi Germany. Some of these individuals were injured or disabled as a result of their involvement in military operations, resistance activities, or other forms of opposition to the Nazi regime. After the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, the government sought to provide support to these individuals, recognizing their contributions and sacrifices.
