Erna Bast:
A Nazi SS Sorcerer and suspected member of the Thule Society. Bast was part of the Death’s Head assault on Les Escaradine intent on summoning a great storm using the henge on the La Salle property.  Bast was grievously wounded in the ensuing battle, although radio intercepts indicate she survived for a least a few hours after the battle.  Her survival was confirmed when she participated in the ambush that nearly led to the capture of Mr. Ramses in an ancient Libyan tomb.

Obersturmbannführer Rolfe Skell:
A member of the command staff for the SS Tote Kopf, or “Death’s Head” division. Intelligence indicates Obst. Skell lead the assault on Les Escaradine but he was not positively ID’d in the battle. Rolfe is German for “wolf”. Skell was next seen driving away with Mr. Ramses locked inside a sarcophagus in the ancient tomb. Ramses was freed but Skell escaped.

Die Fledermaus:
The code name used by the Nazi handler of the traitor Tulley Hennessy. Nothing is known of Fledermaus save Hennessy attributes to him super natural powers. Fledermaus is German for “bat”. Most recently Fledermaus was named by the Nazi spy inside Professor Harling's cult as the contact to whom the spy sold out the pilot hero James Nichols.

Silvano Ferretti:
Commander of an elite Italian recon unit. First Company first met Ferretti at a diplomatic dinner, then a poker game, and finally in wheeling vehicle combat on the Libyan desert. At one point Ferretti had First Company, and their LRDG guides, on the brink of destruction but he inexplicably retreated. Woodnell holds a grudge for all three encounters.

Dr. Johannes Plendl:
Doctor Plendl is a Germany's leading scientist in radio, radar, and related technologies. Plendl established a command post in the Greek village of Kotronas and from there directed the use of several new super-weapons during the battle of Crete. Surveys of Plendl's pre-war research revealed not only his excellent theories regarding the radio spectrum but also a fascination with Earth's upper atmosphere - and beyond. First Company made a raid to capture Plendl but he escaped using a super-science rocket pack.

Professor Harling:
Owner of a large manor estate near North Pinning, Lancashire, Harling appeared a kindly, eccentric retired scholar. In reality he lead a cult that ensnared most of the village and was himself a powerful sorcerer. He devoted his energy and loyalty to a terrible Queen from a magical land who was better suited as villain in a child's story. Although his cult was destroyed and his plot to bring his Queen to our world foiled he escaped on his talking horse.
