Werwolf agents were supposed to have at their disposal a vast assortment of weapons, from fire-proof coats to silenced Walther pistols but in reality, this was merely on paper; Werwolf never actually had the necessary equipment, organisation, morale or coordination. Given the dire supply situation German forces were facing in 1945, the commanding officers of existing "Wehrmacht" and SS units were unwilling to turn over what little equipment they still had for the sake of an organization whose actual strategic value was doubtful.
