Salama followed the grand mufti al-Husseini to Nazi Germany and became his senior aid and a virtual covert operative of the Germans."

German Templars and one Palestinian Arab) parachuted from a German Heinkel HeS 3 into mandatory Palestine over Wadi Qelt. Their equipment reportedly included explosives, submachine guns, dynamite, radio equipment and 5,000 Pound sterling. They had some poison capsules intended to liquidate locals believed to be collaborating with the mandatory authorities[10] One of the Germans and Salama evaded capture, and he took refuge in Qula, where a physician treated his injured foot.[11] The operation was intended to supply local Palestinian Arab resistance groups with resources and arms, and to direct sabotage activity primarily at Jewish (rather than British) targets.[12]

1947–1948 Palestine War

Al-Ramla
in 2015

In 1947 Salameh re-emerged as second-in-command of the

Rishon Letzion, since Bayt Dajan residents refused to help him.[25] During March 1948 Haganah intelligence had learned that Salama together with Iraqi commander of Al-Ramla established command headquarters in a four-storey building near al-Ramla. On April 5, Givati Brigade's company infiltrated and destroyed the compound, 25 Arabs were killed. Salama was not harmed, however his escape was deemed "disgraceful". However Salama returned to the destroyed building, retrieved the equipment and established his new command headquarters at Yehudia village.[26] There are reports that Salama used ex-Nazi advisors in his fight in Palestine.[27]

Salama was a member of the Palestine Arab Party.

Salama was injured in the battle of

Black September and the man chiefly responsible of the Munich massacre at the 1972 Olympics.[30]
