Documentary WEREWOLF FOOTAGE From WWII German Soldiers? (VIDEO)
This footage is claimed to be from 1942 when a group of German soldiers came across the corpse of an apparent ‘Werewolf’ or some type of canine cryptid.
A comment from Adler Armory states:
“The film references 1942 but that pattern wool field cap was not introduced until 1943 and the 4 pocket Waffen SS “Peas” or “Erbsen” didn’t get to the field until late 1943 and early 1944. Matter of fact it’s sometimes referred to as the 44 Dot pattern. Soldiers aren’t wearing belts. The M43 Field Caps look black, making the soldiers Panzersoldaten or Tankers. But Tankers wore a different style of uniform in both the black (or field gray in some cases) wool and the camo, they were issued shorter double-breasted uniform jackets collectors call a Panzerwrap. I think this is just some post-war creation with artificial aging effects.”
Another comment states:
“If this is real, that’s a female. It has breasts and is much smaller than a male. Probably a young female. Also, it’s likely a canine cryptid aka a dogman. Wolf cryptids do exist but they do not change forms like the Hollywood versions. They’re also bigger than canine cryptids. A real wolf cryptid stands about 10-12 ft tall fully grown. Canine cryptids stand about 6-8 ft tall for adult females and 7-9 ft tall for adult males.”
I tend to agree with these assessments. Lon

Apple Subject to ‘Special Abuse Control’ Says German Antitrust Regulator
Bundeskartellamt president Andreas Mundt said that Apple’s economic position is not adequately controlled by competition, giving German authorities the right to step in.
Apple has an economic position of power across markets which gives rise to a scope of action that is not sufficiently controlled by competition. Based on its mobile end devices such as the iPhone, Apple operates a wide-ranging digital ecosystem which is of great importance to competition not only in Germany, but also throughout Europe and the world. With its proprietary products iOS and the App Store, Apple holds a key position for competition as well as for gaining access to the ecosystem and Apple customers. This decision enables us to specifically take action against and effectively prohibit anti-competitive practices.
In the press release, the Bundeskartellamt says that Apple’s two billion device active install base gives it a “strong power” to create rules for third parties, with Apple exerting control over customers and access to customers. Combined with Apple’s resources, Apple is in a “position of power” that makes it subject to the aforementioned “special abuse control.” This designation is valid for five years.
German regulators are already looking into Apple’s ad tracking rules and App Tracking Transparency, a measure that requires apps to get explicit user consent before tracking them. The investigation began in 2022 with the aim of determining whether Apple’s anti-tracking technology is anti-competitive.
At the current time, the Bundeskartellamt has not decided whether to initiate further proceedings against Apple. Alphabet/Google, Meta/Facebook, and Amazon have previously been subject to these rules. A 2021 amendment to the German Competition Act provided the Bundeskartellamt with the power to “intervene early and more effectively” to prevent major tech companies from engaging in anti-competitive practices.
