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!

Didn't Warlord also have a German equivalent to Lord Peter Flint??

Be honest...how many of you learned what words like "Achtung!" and "Banzai"
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... |

I read Victor myself and like Warlord that comic occasionally had stories that had Germans as leading characters
There was one about a tank that was commanded by the prince of a small former German kingdom. |

On a related theme, I got the '"Commando": The Dirty Dozen: The Best 12 "Commando" Books of All Times' for 49p from a charity shop near me. It's in pristine nick as well. I was so pleased, I let them keep the penny change.
