The German (.de) Wiki page on this location is called Werwolf and a comment in the Discussion page points out that the name of the headquarters in German reference sources is always Werwolf and not Wehrwolf. I doubt that Hitler (more noted for his conceit than for humour) would have made such a weak play on words as adding a "h" to Werwolf to make it Wehrwolf. I stand to be corrected...

Good point, but the German Wikipedia Commons section is 'Wehrwolf' - so we'd better find some citation one way or rhe other and then adjust the article accordingly. -- Smerus ( talk) 18:23, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
I read that all non-German men were shot after construction is completed to secure top secrecy of the HQ. Then, Soviets bombed the HQ after they discovered its existence (thanks to actions of Nikolai Ivanovich Kuznetsov), but Hitler was already on his way back to Germany. -- Bojan Talk 18:01, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
Quotations are presented from "The Hitler Book: The Secret Report by His Two Closest Aides". John Toland is listed as the author which is false. The book is an edited version of a Soviet report prepared after the war by the NKVD based on the prison interrogations of Heinz Linge and Otto Guensche. Calling them the authors is equally questionable in the circumstances.
The story about those who built werewolf being killed has, as far as I know, no other sources and was not repeated/confirmed by Guensche or Linge after they were released by the Soviet Union. Its a questionable story.
At the very least, the authorship of the source should be clarified. I would suggest attributing it to Soviet Union. 70.234.240.186 ( talk) 07:36, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
