Scheisskopf

"Due to circumstances beyond my control, there will be no big parade this Sunday afternoon."

- Scheisskopf Lt. Gen Scheisskopf is a parade-obsessed training officer at the Air cadet base where Yossarian and Clevinger are trained before being sent overseas. Later Scheisskopf is himself transferred overseas to General Peckem’s command.

Clevinger
Scheisskopf takes a particular dislike to Clevinger. Even though Clevinger is just as serious about parades as Scheisskopf, and his ideas help the squadron win multiple parades, Scheisskopf still considers him a "wise guy", and someone that needs to be "brought down a peg or two."

Mrs Scheisskopf
Scheisskopf is at constant odds with his wife's masochistic libido as his severe love for parades leaves him too busy to pay any attention to her. She often sleeps with Scheisskopf's cadets, so they can all get revenge on her husband, and so can she for some “unforgettable crime she couldn’t recall.”

Trivia

 * Scheisskopf appears in the 2019 miniseries portrayed by George Clooney.
 * Scheisskopf, while still obsessed with parades, is presented as having a bit more intelligence than his book counterpart in that he isn't prioritising the parades over the flying of combat missions and that he's actually aware that Yossarian had been sleeping with his wife.
 * He takes his revenge by explicitly forbidding Yossarian from getting discharged for any reason.
 * "Scheisskopf" literally translated means "shithead" in German, though such an insult does not exist in that language. "Shithead" is a title by which fellow cadet training officer Lieutenant Engle refers to him. Engle itself may be a misspelling of the German word Engel, which means angel.
