EspañolGENERAL DREEDLE
'General Dreedle' is a character from Joseph Heller's classic novel ''Catch-22''.
The commander of the U.S. Army Air Corps base in Pianosa, Dreedle is an exceedingly blunt and ill-tempered man. His arch-rival is General Peckem, head of Special Services in Rome; the two men frequently have their disputes mediated without their knowledge by the desk clerk Ex-PFC Wintergreen.
Dreedle's temper is further inflamed by the constant presence of his son-in-law, Colonel Moodus. General Dreedle has a nurse who follows him around. He says that the purpose of having the very attractive nurse follow him around is to drive Moodus crazy because Moodus can not touch her. He enjoys watching Chief White Halfoat punch Colonel Moodus in the nose.
Dreedle was portrayed by Orson Welles in Mike Nichols' 1970 film adaptation of the novel.
