I wonder if these locations are recorded in WW2 era classified documents that have never been released. Someone at some point must have known where they were, in order to assign personnel.

They may have not kept records specifically because it was meant for a potential resistance movement. If there were records, then the Nazis could just read them after an invasion.

Yeah presumably this is something that is best used and highly localized as far as knowledge goes. No records, just some trusted locals who would use it... beyond that as few people as possible would know about it.

Some of these units operated in a cell-based system (similar to Al Qeada), so there wouldn't be any offical records.
