I believe that Menachem Begin was in the "home army" of General Anders.  It was with that unit that he arrived in Eretz Israel (then Palestine).

Poldek Pfefferberg, a Schindlerjuden who had served in the Polish Army at the beginning of WWII, told Oskar Schindler that he would tell his story, fulfilled his promise years later, when writer Thomas Keneally walked into Pfefferberg's shoe/luggage shop in Beverly Hills CA. Keneally was looking to get out of the heat (and browse, maybe, for a new suitcase) but when Pfefferberg learned that his customer was an author, he started talking about Oskar...!
