‘Werwolf’ was a myth.

Just about every male between 14 and 60 was conscripted into the army, SS, or Volkssturm by 45’ and after that they had no fight in them.

And the Nazi’s were too short on weapons to make much of a cache.

NATO and Warsaw Pact though especially after the collapse of the wall...

“The Last Nazis: SS Werewolf Guerrilla Resistance in Europe 1944-1947” by Perry Biddiscombe

https://www.amazon.com/Last-Nazis-Guerrilla-Resistance-1944-1947/dp/0752417932/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1486240999&sr=8-1&keywords=the+last+nazis+perry+biddiscombe

From the Publisher

Founded by Heinrich Himmler in 1944 when it became clear Germany would be invaded, the Werewolf guerrilla movement was given the task of slowing down the Allied advance to allow time for the success of negotiations or “wonder weapons”. Staying behind in territory occupied by the Allies, its mission was to carry out acts of sabotage, arson and assassination, both of enemy troops and of “defeatist” Germans. Perry Biddiscombe has researched the movement exhaustively, and details Werewolf operations against the British, Russians and fellow Germans, on the Eastern and Western Fronts and in the post–war chaos of Berlin. Giving the lie to the established story of a cowed German population meekly submitting to defeat, this is a fascinating insight into what has been described as “the death scream of the Nazi regime”.
