West-German stay-behind organisations during the Cold War
- this page is a stub
Like most other European countries, Germany had several
stay-behind organisations during
the Cold War, that could be activated in case
of an invasion by the Soviet Union (USSR).
These groups were known under different names, whilst the names also changed
over the years. Members of the SBOs were secretly trained in
paramilitary and unorthodox warfare, and in secret radio communication.
For the latter, they used a variety of purpose-built spy radio sets.
