Trivia

• Heinz (in place of Hans) is obviously taken from the ketchup/beans manufacturer of the same name, while Faust was a German who sold his soul to the Devil for knowledge.
  • Faust is also the German word for "Fist". One well-known use is the "Panzerfaust", a German anti-tank rocket launcher used in WW2, which can be translated as "Armored Fist".
• Stuka comes from "Sturzkampfflugzeug", meaning "dive bomber". Yes, the Stuka was a German WW2 fighter bomber! The particular model Heinz flies - er, drives - is a 1937 Junkers Ju-87.
• In TDR 2000, the King Merc appears as a new model, driven by Hans Kristoff Havocstein.
• The original Carmageddon's King Merc was apparently based on a fourth generation Mercedes-Benz SL, despite having SLK rear lights and a body similar to a W140 coupe.
• Judging by the mug shots, Heinz picked up some scars during the first Carmageddon.
  • His scarred eye is now glazed in Reincarnation.
• Heinz Faust wears a German uniform and drives a German car which he converted into a tank.
  • Heinz Guderian was a German general and famous commander of great panzer divisions during WW2. In the last year of the war he became Chief of the General Staff of the Heer.
• The number "four" on his tank means "vier" in German which is exactly pronounced like the word "fear".
• The Reincarnation design for Heinz includes rollerboots with tank treads... it's been done.
