DC Thomson's "Warlord" - a question

As a child, I was quite a keen reader of DC Thomson's "Warlord Book For Boys",
and I remember several of its characters very well, including Lord
Peter Flint , Jake Cassidy, Kampfgruppe Falken and Sergeant Rayker.
However, there was one "Warlord" character I can't remember the name of. I think
he might have only appeared either very late in the comic's run,
or even just in the WBfB instead of the comics.
This character was a North African (Tunisian or Moroccan?) and he fought against
the Nazis in the North African Campaign, sometimes working
with the Brits or escaped Polish POWs. He rode a camel and
wore a soldier's uniform with an Arab headress.
Can anyone remember this character's name? It's been bugging me
for ages!

That's the guy!!!
mean from comics like "Warlord"? I remember doing our first German class in
secondary school, and the teacher asked us did anyone know any words
from Goethe's language.
I mentioned I knew "Vorwärts" (Forward!) "Feuer" (Fire/Shoot) and "Schnell"
(Quickly). Which was three more than anyone else in the class knew...
There was one about a tank that was commanded by the prince of a small former German kingdom.
Not to mention "Gott in Himmel!" - God in Heaven
and of course the ever popular : "For you zee vor iss ofer Tommy!" ;-)
they were always "good" Germans though... conscripted or nazi haters forced to fight for their homeland ;-)
Alternatively:- "Ahh Tommy Englander, for you zee vor iss ofer!"
I remember one story about a crooked German soldier who worked as a driver for an officer. He had managed to secrete some loot from one of his criminal enterprises into the officer's car.
and I got 'Earschplittenloudenboomer' from Steppenwolf's 7th album.
