Talk:Wolverines (Germany, 1945)

Fact-Checking
Augh! I wanted to write an article on post WWII Nazi resistence to allied occupation. But I haven't been able to find any hints even of it existing after combing through google and looking up US army reports. This leads me to suspect that maybe the story was made up, or made to look much more important than it really is. I hope this can be fact-checked further. I'll certainly do some more this weekend Kim Bruning 00:42, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I did some fact-checking. This is a confusing and somehow twisted story. Apparently the original text of this article stub refers to a rumor, that spread shortly after Donald Rumsfeld anounced Saddam Hussein's capture on Dec. 13, 2003.

The military operation that lead to the caputre was called Operation Red Dawn, two key locations Wolverine-1 and Wolverine-2. Someone linked these names to the 1984's movie Red Dawn, where a teen guerilla called itself Wolverines.

I don't see any link between Rumsfeld and the German Werwolfs. :-(

Nevertheless, it might be interesting to have an English version of de:Werwolf (Freischärlerbewegung). But I don't know if Wolverines is an accurate translation... ---zzz 22:11, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Something I overlooked: there exists already an article Werwolf. I'll turn Wolverines (Germany, 1945) into a redirect. ---zzz 22:22, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
