the "Werewolves" was an underground army recruited and
trained in 1945 for guerilla warfare against the
Allies who were in the process of occupying Germany;
"were-elves streaking in out of the forests at night"
125; "a terrible beastlike change coming over muzzle
and lower jaw, black pupils growing to cover the
entire eye space till whites are gone and there's only
the red animal reflection" 196; "hock of werewolf,
gammon of Beast" 295; 486; "Werewolf stencils of the
dark man with the high shoulders and the Homburg hat"
624; "lycanthropophobia or fear of Werewolves" 640;
