Wolves petrify German army

When I was in the Army, at Ft. Polk, there was a feral dog problem. Also a panther problem. Wild horses and cattle, too.

So we, always, illegally, carried live rounds on exercises. AFAIK (officially), no one actually used those rounds. Though someone did once toss an artillery simulator into the middle of a herd of wild horses. The horses were not happy about that, and hilarity ensued.

Les Chaton?

Speaking from experience with "dangerous" animals, showing respect but NOT fear is usually the best course.
With humans, I might recommend imagining "what's the worst that could happen?"
With wolves, that might not be the way to go.
(Three days ago, I noticed something dangling at the end of my left ring finger. It was a partly crushed and injured mature Black Widow. Who knows what she'd been under that I picked up?
No hurt to me. The spider was another matter).

Can't they hear the french horns playing while the wolf is sneaking up ?

We went to all that effort to find and import training wolves for the German soldiers and they just fail. What are they going to do when it's a real war and a wolf sneaks up on them?

A very bizzare article.

"Local wolf expert Helge John explained that the wolves are just playing, and will soon grow out of stalking the squaddies.

"From the photographs they are clearly young animals not more than six months old and are engaged in play, which is part of the learning process to eventually be able to hunt efficiently in a pack," he said."

I'm sure that's reassuring. They're just playing. They'll grow out of it soon and start really hunting. Then look out!

They don't make Wehrmacht the way they used to...

Nothing I could add would be funnier than "... bite oir boots off!"

Have the French surrendered, just to be le safe?
