13 I withdraw, hopefully, gracefully

3 After my faux pas, I worried now. :))
I can get Hitler
(Strike = HIT + L (pound) + ER (Queen)), but struggling to 'make' adolf - any assistance welcomed.

Ahhh it's a sound-a-like

A brick carrier = A HOD backwards = ADOH with LP = disc inside, ie

ADOLPH

[cashier]

Depends if sound alikes are accepted Captain.
A dolph (lp ina backward hod) sounds like Adolf

[cashier]

Rats, too late as usual.

I'm glad you joined in though Cash - thought I was talking to myself! ;)))
