Towards the end of World War 2, a movement began, which lasted through 1946. At
night, the woods and concrete canyons of Germany echoed with the howl of wolves.
The Waffen SS created a guerrilla warfare organization known as the
Werewolves. The Werewolves combined Waffen SS élan with the latest guerrilla
warfare methods from Russia. For over a year, Werewolves conducted guerrilla
warfare of assassination, ambush and raid. Although the SS Werewolves were small
in number, their guerrilla warfare success heaped new honor on the Waffen SS.

Review Table of Contents
“The ambush must be set up in suitable terrain. Areas that are too obvious as ambush sites like defiles, hollows etc., must
be avoided. Well suited on the other hand are inconspicuous positions in hedges, forest edges, cornfields, settlements
and gardens, especially if they offer possibilities of covered and concealed withdrawal.
Patient, noiseless, and motionless waiting, often over a longer period of time, are necessary when laying in ambush. Fire
only opens up when the order or predetermined sign is given. In larger scale ambushes, the advance party of the enemy
should be allowed to pass in order to hit the more valuable targets following. If sufficient forces are available, a separate
ambush may be set up for the expected advance party. Fire on the advance party may open up only after the main
ambush is sprung.”
