Ilse (Iron Heart)

Ilse was a young German woman who shared a sexual relationship with American journalist Tom Schmidt. She was given a film by a German Freedom Front Werewolf to pass on to Schmidt. She did not know the Werewolf, and did not know what the film was.

Ilse was fond of Schmidt, although if that was because he brought her money and food, or because she felt a romantic connection to him, Schmidt was never sure.
