General Yodel is a high ranking German soldier who arrives at the V-2 rocket base in Peenemünde to oversee its first test.

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).

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).
