* [[An Officer and A Gentleman]] - Guy Crouchback, Tommy Blackhouse, Ivor Claire. Averted by Corporal-Major Ludovic, who is later promoted but retains his working-class origins.
* [[Armchair Military]] - Colonel 'Jumbo' Trotter, happy to see the war out from a comfortable seated position.
Line 32 ⟶ 31:
* [[Those Wacky Nazis]] - Notable by their absence. Apart from the occasional doodlebug, and the Stukas in Crete, only one German soldier (a despatch rider on a Cretan dirt road) ever appears.
* [[Upperclass Twit]] - Apthorpe, Major Hound.
* [[What Happened to The Mouse?]] - Major Hound's disappearance. After Hound and Ludovic spend some time off-screen during the retreat, only Ludovic appears at the evacuation beach {{spoiler|wearing Hound's shoulder badges}}. Ludovic merely states to Crouchback a long time later that he cannot remember anything, but his slowly growing mental instability suggests that he knows more than he is telling.
