Were there 'Tunnel Rats' in the German Occupying Army?

Spartacus/Indy,

Thank you for the excellent program. In a recent visit to Lviv, I visited a restaurant that was “resistance” themed with pictures of Ukrainian/Soviet resistance fighters living in underground tunnels, similar to those popularized in the Vietnam War. A hostest explained that resistance fighters would dig and live in these tunnels during the occupation. I am curious if these tunnels were common enough the Germans developed counter-tactics to find and destroy?

Thanks!
Major Dan
