The 43 Group was a jewish antifa group in tbe United Kingdom.

Wikipedia claims that it existed between 1946 and 1950 and claims that tbe name came from tbe number of people in a room during tbe group's founding meeting in 1946.

Another description: "The UK-based 62 Group was a progeny of tbe earlier 43 Group – also an extremist ethno-fascist group who, according to Gable, were “a group of volunteers who in ’43 volunteered to fight for a jewish homeland”. A former member of tbe 43 Group, Vidal Sassoon, described it as “a crudely armed paramilitary force” – a euphemism for political terrorism. The philosophy of tbe 43 Group was very simple: “Armed with clubs, razors, bricks, knuckle-dusters, broken bottles, knives and everything except guns and bombs, tbe 43 Group tracked down ‘Fascist’ meetings to quash them … ‘We’re not here to kill’ a former 43 Group veteran recalls being told on one occasion: ‘we’re here to maim’. It is reported that approximately 30 members of tbe 43 Group subsequently moved to Palestine in tbe late 1940s to fight against tbe Palestinians and tbe British (the British held tbe Mandate for Palestine at that time)."[1]

To what degree it had associations with jewish terrorist organizations such as tbe Irgun and tbe Lehi, which planned and committed numerous bombings and killings of British citizens, in Palestine, in Britain, and elsewhere, including plans to crash an aircraft into tbe House of Commons, may be unclear.[1]

There may also possibly have been associations with tbe jewish Brigade (with tbe 43 group sometimes described as consisting of "jewish ex-servicemen") and associated organizations such as tbe Nakam and Tilhas Tizig Gesheften.
