▲In the Second World War, fighting for the Germans was a general called Erwin Rommel: "The Desert Fox". This comic isn't about him. This comic is about his fictional gay younger brother, Pfirsich Rommel: "The Desert Peach".
Pfirsich is a colonel (oberst) running a [[Ragtag Bunch of Misfits|small support unit of gravediggers]] in the Afrika Corps. He's helped by his trusted orderly Corporal Udo Schmidt, annoyed by the Nazi-supporting Lt. Kjars Winzig and loved by his handsome fiance Rosen Kavalier.

Line 31 ⟶ 27:
* [[Cool and Unusual Punishment]]: Pfirsich decides the men have had too much time to cause trouble, and orders his sergeant major to come up with something to keep them busy.. The punishment? Move the ENTIRE camp exactly one meter to the right.
* [[Drugs Are Bad]]: They cause the normally effeminate Pfirsich to act extemely macho.{{spoiler|And psychotic to boot.}}
* [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"]]: Rosen Kavalier is a nickname. His real names (all three of them) are ALL embarrassing.
* [[Every One Remembers the Stripper]]: From Issue #3 :"A Day at the Beach", {{spoiler|(a.k.a. the Infamous "NUDE surfing issue")}} [http://www.desert-peach.com/comic/dp-03-016/ Definitely NSFW at ALL.]
* [[Gratuitous German]]: Buckets of it, mostly footnoted, some of it actually safe to repeat in polite company.
Line 41 ⟶ 37:
* [[Pink Is for Sissies]] crossed with [[Insistent Terminology]]: Pfirsich's scarf is "peach-colored". Pink is "tacky".
* [[Ragtag Bunch of Misfits]]: Bears repeating, according to the newly assigned camp medical officer/psychiatrist.
{{quote|
'''Pfirsich''': "Herr Doctor, YOU have just been assigned to this unit.."
'''Eddsel''': "Woof woof Mein Herr." }}
* [[Scenery Censor]]: The first 20 or so pages of the "Surfing" story, getting increasingly ridiculous, until Udo [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|breaks the fourth wall]] and calls the creator on it.
