Werwolf
Werwolf was founded by Heinrich Himmler in 1944 when it became clear Germany would be invaded. The Werwolf guerrilla movement was given the task of slowing down the Allied advance to allow time for the success of negotiations, or 'wonder weapons’. Staying behind in territory occupied by the Allies, its mission was to carry out acts of sabotage, arson, and assassination, both of enemy troops and of 'defeatist' Germans.
