What is Order of battle : Hitler's werewolves : a novel about?

As the Reich began to disintigrate in the autumn of 1944,Himmler set up the Werewolves to spread terror and destruction behind alliedlines. They are not known to have achieved much, although they did assassinatethe mayor of Aachen (who surrendered to the Americans), decapitate some GIs withtripwires and pour sugar into some Russian petrol tanks. Danish born author IbMelchior served in US army counterintelligence during world war two, and hasadopted a fictional approach to telling the Werewolf story. He says, however, itis based on fact. The most sensational claim is that there was a nazi plot toasassinate Eisenhower. The book is a well paced read from both the US and theGerman perspective. However, given that the events are in April 1945, there isremarkably little atmosphere of Gotterdammerung. And there are some historicalmistakes. His claim that the SS were gassing and burning Jews at Dachau(!)atthis late stage of the war is certainly mythical.
