Germany's illegal army

Finally!  I've been looking for some confirmation of some rumors I had heard about years ago regarding this.  A fascinating footnote to both WWII and the Cold War.  However, one of the additional rumors I heard was that this group was not some sort of German proto-addition to NATO, and strictly anti-Russian;  But actually planning a sort of putcsh/revolt against the Allies, and "liberating" West Germany from occupation, etc., and that Adenauer knew about this and tacitly supported it.  I can only imagine the geopolitical nightmare that would have resulted if an attack on Anglo-American troops in Germany were to have occurred in the mid 1950's.
