Pappenheimer refers to a man called Gottfried Heinrich Graf zu Pappenheim, he was a general I believe, for the Holy Roman Empire. He fought in the Thirty-Years War, along with lots of other guys - including the Swedes. My knowledge on this has been disremembered and fragmented by the year(s) at this art school. In swedish the phrase is "Känn din Pappenheimer", I cannot really explain the meaning - possibly due to poor language skills or something... But I do have this quote I found on wikipedia (also he was a field marshal). Here is the quote:

Quote:
His name forms the key part of the Czech and German colloquialism; "we know our fellow Pappenheim's". It is used to imply tongue-in-cheek that someone has, is or will be acting in a way that is completely expected.
@Chruser: You know, we have television-technology in the lower levels of the "brook falls"-station. Although it's halls are mostly occupied by that "Atom-man", weird guy - maybe weirder than you. He should be avoided. Lost... Why do you mock me with these questions when you already know the truth!?

@King Amazon: Thank you for changing your avatar, I can now browse this forums without fear of sanity loss (1d6/1d20).

Also, on the subject of Adolf Hitler - my interest in him is not as an historian.
