Hell, for as little as we know about werewolf aging, it could be the Nazi Alpha for all we know. I wouldn't read to much into it. I thought so too at first, but my guess is they just made this gigantic paw print so the Viewer understands what happened. She shape of the paw print looked so different from a normal wolf though, but yeah, maybe they did it for the viewer.

I think it would be better if it was actually an Alpha, because it would explain why the paw print is significant and coheres with the fact that every other transformations of humans into werewolves (e.g. La Bete), kanimas, and werecoyotes were directly caused by an Alpha (e.g. bite, scratch). Also, it'd help restrict the conditions for a transformation via paw print. I mean, it'd be pretty lame if someone can become a werewolf by just waiting for it to rain (perhaps on a Full Moon but they never specified), getting a domestic wolf to walk in mud, and then drink some rain water from it. :P

IDK, I just think it'd be more interesting if the story gave the paw print more significance than just a simple wolf. :P
