Werwölfe, Die (1973, GER) C-78m. ** D: Werner Klett. Starring Wolfgang Ziffer, Klaus Jepsen, H. Ebeling, Günter Meisner. At the end of WW2, a group of eleven teenage soldiers of the Hitlerjugend barricade themselves against the enemy. When allied forces search the area after Hitler's death, they meet fierce opposition from the youngsters. German war drama - a variation of William Golding's The Lord of the Flies - uses music by Franz Liszt quite powerfully, but overall remains dramatically flat. English title would be THE WEREWOLVES, but it's doubtful whether this was released abroad.
