William Telling | |
| Yankee Zulu / int_37c6c0f3 | comment |
William Telling: As a kid, Zulu was made to balance a tin can on his head while Rhino was forced to shoot it off. Later on, Rhino has Zulu do it to him as payback while imprisoned. However, it fails and Diehard gets hurt instead. | |

All Germans Are Nazis: General Diehard is a fascist and owner of a right-wing white supremacist organization known as "Threatened Immigrants Right-wing Defence". He also sports a thick German accent and liberal usage of German words. | |

Laser-Guided Karma: After trying so hard to get the check from Rhino and Zulu and being established as racists, Gen. Diehard and Rowena face numerous booby traps devised by Tienkie and Prince William. And for trying to kill Tienkie, Diehard gets mud thrown at his face, falls into the water and, after pulling himself out, and gets sat on by the elephant he used to imprison Rhino and Zulu. | |
