: Didja know that Diedrich would've been called schlemman (schleman?)???
: German names get me down except for Toht.

It was Schleiman, I think.
And did you know that "Toht" is neither a German name nor that it was written correctly by Spielberg/Lucas? I a pretty sure it should be "Toth", which is a Hungarian name. Now why would a German have a Hungarian name, you may ask. Until the begin of this century (and WWI) Austria and Hungary have had the same Austrian Emperor. So Hungarian names are not uncommon in Austria. Austria was the first country taken by Hitler because there have been people sympathising with his ideas. Therefore I think "Thot" is an Austria guy (but as I am myself Austrian, I am not proud of it...).
