Eidel

Eidel was an officer in the SS, and a member of Adolf Hitler's inner circle. He was a small, thin man who was more of an office worker than a soldier, but who enjoyed flaunting his authority over others. As a result, Colonel Dietrich disliked him; as well as the other black-uniformed SS thugs who thought they ran the world. It was Eidel who assigned Dietrich the all-important task of recovering the Ark of the Covenant, and also told him to hire the Frenchman Belloq.
