Other members of BKA and the Byelorussian Auxiliary Police were recruited by SS Colonel Otto Skorzeny for training in Dahlwitz near Berlin, to make special undercover strikes behind the enemy lines. These units were part of a clandestine operation known as "Liebes Kätzchen" stretched from the Baltics to the Black Sea. The Byelorussian "Black Cat" guerrilla group was led by Michas' Vitushka. They operated in Belavezha Forest (Białowieża) against the Soviet forces in anti-communist operations throughout 1945 but with little success. Infiltrated by NKVD, they were destroyed in 1945.
