During the war, SS saboteurs carried out the most important tasks of the Reichsführer SS, and sometimes of Hitler himself - provocations, kidnappings, murders, raids deep into enemy territory. Not everyone knows that it was SS saboteurs who staged a provocation in Gleiwitz in 1939, which became the reason for the outbreak of World War II. High-profile operations by SS saboteurs were carried out not only on all fronts, but also where there were no German units. The SS saboteurs were an experimental SS detachment that grew from one company into almost a full-fledged division. The Germans called the SS saboteurs a fighter formation, and the Soviet special services called hunting teams. They successfully pursued partisans in the forests of Belarus, parachuted into the mountains of Italy and Yugoslavia, and broke through into besieged cities and deep into the battle formations of the allied forces. In a number of cases, SS saboteurs used captured military uniforms, which violated the Geneva Convention and after the war brought some commanders to the dock. This is a story not only about the most high-profile operations of SS saboteurs, but also about the most mysterious and little-known ones. How were the assassination attempts on Stalin prepared, how were Mussolini released and Horthy captured, how were the Ardennes offensive prepared, who created the pro-Nazi resistance in Europe? How significant was the contribution of SS saboteurs to the course of hostilities and the war efforts of Nazi Germany? You will find answers to these questions on the pages of the book.
