Gottfried Heinrich Graf zu Pappenheim
One of the Assault Groups top sellers is a Pappenheim personality figure - not surprising... everyone loves a bad guy. Wiki on the man. Here's an image by Wenceslaus Hollar.
Funny thing is,there is a saying in dutch translated as 'he knows his pappenheimers', meaning 'he knows his people or he knows who he is dealing with. AFAIK this is lent from german.
Another word for pappenheimer in dutch is a latrine cleaner. Interesting...
