Summary
This book examines the Werwolf organization, a Nazi guerrilla movement established in the final years of World War II. Perry Biddiscombe analyzes the movement's creation, operations, and ultimate failure from 1944 to 1946. The work explores how the Nazis attempted to organize civilian resistance against Allied occupation forces in Germany, drawing on extensive archival research. Biddiscombe assesses the movement's limited military impact while documenting its propaganda significance and the fear it generated among Allied commanders. The book provides a comprehensive historical account of this lesser-known aspect of Nazi Germany's final phase.
