Čorny Kot (, lit. Black Cat) was a German-trained Belarusian nationalist, anti-Soviet guerrilla unit during World War II. As part of the Nazis' effort to combat the enormous Soviet partisan movement in Belarus during the war, special units of local collaborationists were trained by the SS's Otto Skorzeny to infiltrate the Soviet rear. In 1944 thirty Belarusians (known as "Čorny Kot" (Black Cat) and personally led by Michał Vituška) were airdropped by the Luftwaffe behind the lines of the Red Army, which had already expelled German forces from Belarus during Operation Bagration.
