A band of mercenaries who feature in AH.com the Series, made up of all the German members of the Board. They first appeared in DON'T MENTION THE PORN!. They were created by the writers in an attempt to redress the balance, as the German members of AH.com had made few Series appearances before then.
The Germans are extremely competent fighters and planners. They managed to seize control of the CTT.net Ship for Floid and used a Misspelling Virus on the AH.commers. Their main weakness is that they keep stopping to argue politics. Generally speaking, their leader Steffen is right-wing and most of the others are left-wing, so that makes for some...interesting conversations.
They speak in comedy-stereotype German accents and the written scripts mimic idiosyncrasies of German, e.g. ‘He hass ein Point, mein Kapitan!’
The Germans reappeared in the episode HAIR TODAY GOTTERDAMMERUNG TOMORROW, in which we learn their backstory and why they talk in such a manner - they have been infected by the Stereotypica virus from HOW SHARPER THAN A UNICORN'S HORN? and are ceaselessly trawling the multiverse to find the virus’ maker and get their revenge, and a cure.
