Nazi Guerrillas

Movies
In the months and years following the end of the World War Two, Allied forces faced a series of bombings and attacks in occupied Germany. Nazi loyalists attempted to derail the rebuilding process by killing any Germans collaborating with the enemy. And the mysterious SS-Werewolves underground organization boasted of the coming rebirth of the Party. Today, little is known about the activities of the Werewolves and other groups who opposed the Allied forces during this postwar period. Through historians’ commentaries, archival materials and testimonies, this program explores how the SS-Werewolves terrorized military and civilian targets such as industrial plants, fuel depots, supply lines, and stray soldiers. It also tells of the motivation and role in these guerilla movements.
