German Stay-Behind/Resistance Groups

[krimsonglass51]

I think many people here are aware of the Werwolf plan that was enacted by the German military command in the final years of the war to create a resistance movement against the Allies. This movement was to be based in Germany. However, I recently discovered that German intelligence also created a stay-behind unit in Finland called Sonderkommando Nord during the final years of WWII in that part of Europe.

So my question is, were there any other stay behind units set up by Nazi Germany elsewhere in Europe?

Wilhelm Höttl of SD foreign intelligence ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilhelm_H%C3%B6ttl ) built a stay-behind network in Southeastern Europe.He gave the names to the Americans after the war to ingratiate himself with them but in the end the OSS handed the list to the SU.

From http://www.archives.gov/iwg/declassifie ... y-211.html :
Cable to Dulles for Berding USFET, regarding the organization of Dr. William Hoettl, a deputy chief of the Nazi Reichssicherheitshauptamt, July 31, 1945, 2 pp. This cable was a paraphrase of one sent to Deane from General Donovan. The cable says that during the war Hoettl headed an "organized German network" of agents in the Balkans to work against the Soviets. Now a prisoner, Hoettl offered to turn the network over to US forces, "implying it was to be used against the Russians." The OSS was "to take up with Russia methods of getting rid of Hoettl's whole organization," a task assigned to Allen Dulles.
