Dreedle's girl

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dreedle's girl is a character in Joseph Heller's classic novel Catch-22.

She is allegedly a nurse, and follows General Dreedle wherever he goes. She is a very attractive woman and Dreedle keeps her around to torment his son-in-law, Colonel Moodus, hoping to catch him in an adulterous situation for which he can punish him.
