"Werwolf." The name struck terror in the hearts of Germany's enemies at the end of World War II. Instructed by seasoned SS officers - veterans of brutal combat on the Eastern Front - Werwolf units were last-ditch resistance troops ordered to fight to the death against the Allied advance into Nazi, Germany. This complete historical overview of this terrifying group of Nazi guerrillas covers their mission, equipment and training, plus an exact reprint in German and an English translation of the Werwolf's original training manual. A fascinating look at a little-known aspect of the final days of World War II.

SS Werwolf-Superb and Rare,
By Military Writer (New Jersey, USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: SS Werwolf Combat Instruction Manual (Paperback)
This manual is a superb example, and accurate translation. of a hitherto unknown war document. Many of its principles incorporate techniques of guerilla warfare later adopted by all elite NATO formations worldwide (US Navy Seals, US Army Green Berets, US Marines, British SAS Commandos) and therefore it is critical to have a copy in any high-quality military library. Absolutely superb piece of work.

This review is from: SS Werwolf Combat Instruction Manual (Paperback)
Great book. I'd heard of operation: Werwolf, for decades. And the "werewolves", (or "werwolves" if you prefer) are still talked about(for some reason) in low voices, with fear & respect. Now I have a better understanding as to why. An oldie but a goody, these principals have NEVER stopped being used. If you are a SERIOUS student of this kind of warfare, this book is a must have.
SO. Move out. Draw fire.
