Projekt Wulfskrieg “Wolf War Project” Artificial Werewolves
Civilization and Culture
History
Projekt Wulfskrieg began not with myth, but with science—dark science, buried and disavowed, but science nonetheless.
In the winter of 1942, as Axis forces were bogged down in the frozen meat-grinder of the Eastern Front, Dr. Anton Killigorae proposed a new kind of soldier to the High Command. Drawing on the forbidden techniques of Dr. Alphonse Moreau, whose journals had been recovered through occult channels and secret society contacts, Killigorae argued that the solution to human fragility was not steel or machine—but transformation. The answer, he claimed, lay in the deliberate crafting of man into beast.
The resulting program—Projekt Wulfskrieg (“Wolf War Project”)—was a biogenetic nightmare masquerading as military science. Killigorae eschewed Moreau’s clumsy vivisections in favor of a refined process using spinal injections, cross-species transfusions, and mutagenic serums. His goal: to create controllable, loyal, and biologically weaponized werewolves—soldiers who could tear through trenches, ignore pain, and instill primal terror in the enemy.
Early tests were disastrous. Test subjects—drawn from political prisons, occupied territories, and enemy combatants—either died screaming or degenerated into malformed feral abominations. Survivability hovered around 15%, and even those who endured often turned on their captors. But Killigorae refined the process. By 1943, with the help of improved catalysts and a serum derived from rare reactive compounds, the success rate rose to over 70%. Those who survived became the Sturmwölfe—“Storm Wolves”—Axis shock troopers re-engineered into towering lupine monsters.
First deployed in Northern Italy and the Balkans, the Sturmwölfe were used for infiltration, shock assaults, and partisan extermination. Resistance fighters spoke of monstrous figures tearing through villages, howling through ruined streets, and vanishing into the mountains before sunrise. Some Allied intelligence circles dismissed these reports as superstition—until Operation Kneecap, a covert insertion mission in the French Alps, ended in catastrophe. Nineteen out of twenty-two commandos were found mutilated, drained of blood, or scattered across miles of frozen rock.
The Sturmwölfe were not mindless beasts. They retained fragmented military instincts—enough to flank, track, and operate in coordinated hunting packs. But their control was fragile. Handlers used pheromonal markers, ultrasonic commands, and chemical suppressants to keep the wolves in line. Without constant regulation, they would devolve into Feral State—a phase marked by psychosis, cannibalism, and uncontrolled mutation. By the end of the war, several units had gone rogue, rampaging through Axis and Allied lines alike, forcing Killigorae to order the destruction of his own creations.
After the fall of the Third Reich, Allied black-ops units launched targeted sweeps to locate and exterminate surviving Wulfskrieg subjects. Some were captured, dissected, or studied in secret programs: the CIA’s Operation Hollow Fang, the Soviet Union’s Project Oборотень (Werewolf), and Britain’s Section Hex all flirted with Wulfskrieg’s bio-alteration theories in the early Cold War years. Yet most units were either dismissed (Such as by Section Hex) killed in the field—often by their own allies to stop berserker rages, their own feral instincts, or by suicide brought on by collapsing minds.
But Wulfskrieg’s legacy didn’t die with its soldiers.
Biochemical fragments of the L-1 process began surfacing on black markets in the 1980s. Serum vials. Genetic notes. Mysterious enhancement protocols. Mercenaries and warlords in Africa, Eastern Europe, and South America were rumored to be experimenting with “Wolf Shots”—injectable concoctions that triggered rage states, bone growth, and superhuman aggression. Whether these are degenerate clones of Killigorae’s work or a continuation of Strain L-1 is unknown.
And then there are the sightings.
In 1991, an Argentine intelligence report described a five-member "pack" operating in the Patagonian wilds—moving silently through forests, hunting defectors. In 1997, satellite heat signatures in Eastern Siberia captured rapid, non-human movement near an abandoned Axis-era outpost. Survivors of private military engagements in conflict zones speak of beasts with claws and tactical instincts, howling before they strike.
Officially, Projekt Wulfskrieg was destroyed.
But the shadows growl.
And somewhere, the wolves are still hunting.
