Son of-Orna and Philip, was born on April 18, 1927, in the name of Wolfgang Levinsky, in Berlin, Germany. During his childhood in Berlin, Wolf was happily passed through. Already in first grade, the teacher described him as “a diligent and hardworking student, with good knowledge of the professions, whose reading is fluent, his writing is clean and meticulous, his memory reliable and his expression satisfactory.” These qualities, the qualities of a research officer, later became his most important tools in his work. In 1934, following the Nazi rise to power, the family immigrated to Israel and settled in Kiryat Bialik near Haifa. His father, a qualified engineer and a partner in a large laundry in Berlin, which belonged to the Biber family, lost all his fortune in Israel and was usually out of work. The difficulties of adaptation led to a divorce between the parents, and “Beaver” (this is the nickname for Ze’ev, and so everyone knew him) and his sister grew up with their mother, Erna. Her mother made a living from a photography camp she ran. Biber studied at an elementary school in Kiryat Motzkin at the branch of the “Reali” school. When he finished elementary school, his mother could not send him to high school, so Biber began to do various crafts. He served as an apprentice chef in hotels in Haifa, was an assistant in the Haifa refineries, served as a laboratory technician, and worked as an assistant instructor at the Institute for the Study and Training of Dogs in Kiryat Motzkin. He learned the art of photography from his mother, and this became his main hobby. Along with these pursuits, he was active in the “Mahanot Ha’olim” movement in the Krayot. He joined the Palmach and joined the Palmach in 1943. He continued to serve in the Palmach, participated in a course for commanders and a course of reconnaissance, and served in the platoons of Company Z in Ein Ha-Shofet and Shmarim. During the War of Independence he served as a combat commander and as an intelligence sergeant in the Jerusalem area and Operation Horev in Sinai. He also participated in the battalion’s battles as a squad commander, and assisted in the preparation of intelligence files. As a person who came from a typical Yaki house, Biber was not one of the Palmachniks of Eretz Israel, and sometimes he tried to adapt himself to his friends, but without much success, sometimes at the fire he would sing in a tenor voice for the joy of his friends, He worked in a secret service for two years, and went to the course for intelligence officers, and he was well versed in the material. Bieber was appointed commander of the Jordanian section of the Intelligence Corps, and in April 1955 he married Inge Grinwald, whose only son was born in 1958. During this period, Biber began the most important chapter in his life in intelligence – he was appointed to study the Jordanian issue and signed a permanent service For an indefinite period of time, as if to clarify the nature of his connection with his work: His service was excellent, he was considered an expert on the subject of Jordan, and all over the world came to his assistance. According to Yehoshafat Harkabi, the head of Military Intelligence at the time, Biber is an “encyclopaedia moving about Jordan.” He did his work meticulously: he was joined by intuition, the love of subject matter and vast knowledge, made him a superb intelligence researcher. He completed various courses: advanced advanced soldiers, a command and staff school, a management course at the Institute for Productivity and Production, and graduated cum laude from the School of Political Science at the Prime Minister’s Office. Despite the daily concerns, the Research Department had an atmosphere of work and consolidation and cooperation. In 1964, the department expanded and decided to establish another research branch, which would include Jordan, Saudi Arabia, the southern Arabian Peninsula and more. Biber was appointed head of the branch and was awarded the rank of lieutenant colonelThe Six Day War contributed a significant contribution to his success in the Jordanian sector. On the analysis of the battles and the lessons learned from the battles in this war, Biber received from his commanders a deep gratitude and appreciation. In 1971 King Hussein completed the elimination of Palestinian power, and Biber completed this fascinating part of his life. The head of Military Intelligence, Aharon Yariv, wrote to him: “Your dedication to the job and your interest in the subject of your work did not diminish over time, and you were among those devoted to their role in Lev and soul and always interested in advancing matters.” After 23 years of service in the Intelligence Corps, Biber for a new challenge – a course for systems analysis at Mamram. He began a new chapter in his life, and he also contributed greatly to the advancement of intelligence. In the Yom Kippur War, he helped the industry, and thanks to his rapid reaction he managed to save King Hussein from harming the Israelis. Biber was a pioneer in the field of automation, and he did the computerization of the research department. He handled every detail of the department’s computerized products and worked hard to get the perfect product. Bieber was assessed by his commanders, and in 1980 he was awarded a commendation for his work in the corps in general and for the decade he dedicated to the intelligence service in particular. In his opinion, his commanders wrote: “A very special personality, with a sharp and knowledgeable profession, educates a generation on the subject of research … belongs to a rare breed of meticulous and thorough workers, thirsty for knowledge and capable of learning and renewal.” In 1981 Beiber was awarded the rank of colonel. He continued his work and produced dozens of products – and tried to persuade young people to work according to his norms, with the same vigor and dedication that had been characteristic of him since. Biber worked until his dying day, and suddenly died of a Lev attack on Saturday, March 30, 1985. He was laid to rest in the military cemetery in Kiryat Shaul, followed by a wife and son
