General '''Yodel''' is a high ranking German soldier who arrives at the V-2 rocket base in [[Peenemünde]] to oversee its first test. <br />
<br />
Unimpressed with [[Xaviar]], Yodel questions the alleged British scientist's credentials, claiming that the Nazis have been following Britain's scientific community very closely and have never heard of anyone named "Xaviar" ([[Galactica Discovers Earth, Part II]]).<br />
<br />
He is displeased when the test fails, thanks to the efforts of [[Dillon]] who destroys the rocket with his [[laser pistol]]. After this, he orders that Xaviar be executed, accusing him of being a spy ([[Galactica Discovers Earth, Part III]]).<br />

In the [[Galactica Discovers Earth (Book)|novelization]] by [[Michael Resnick]], this character is named '''Wilhelm Yodel'''<ref name="p102">{{cite_book|last=Resnick|first=Michael|authorlink=Michael Resnick|authorlinkurl=|year=1981|title=[[Battlestar Galactica 5: Galactica Discovers Earth]]|publisher=Berkley Books|location=|id=|pages=102}}</ref>. Yodel orders Oberleutnant [[Branham]] with a detail of 30 men to search for a detail of 9 soldiers that are incapacitated by [[Warrior]]s [[Troy (alternate)|Troy]] and [[Dillon]]. After finding them apparently unharmed, he recommends that the commander of the unit receive a court martial and orders the soldiers in that unit to be transferred to the Russian Front.<ref name="p102"/> Further, he is outspoken in his hatred for [[w:Adolf Hitler|Adolf Hitler]] and notes that, much to Colonel [[Conrad Werner]]'s displeasure, the Germans are losing the war and the resources invested in the V2 program are better spent on weapons that are proven to work.<ref>''Ibid.'', p. 127</ref><br />
