Sorry....I made a mistake. It was
Lehi, the other Zionist terrorist group, that colaborated with the Nazis during WWII. They had hoped that the Nazis would help them overthrow British rule in Palestine and then establish a Jewish state where the Nazis could send Jews to.
Irgun did indeed suspend all terror attacks against the British during the war, and then of course resumed them after the war ended.
One can observe that history is not without a sense of irony. Leaders of Irgun, a terrorist group, later become the founders of the Israeli Likud Party -- a party whose platform today is to be hardliners against terrorism.
