He has Schultz arrested and has his stormtroopers hunt down the Jewish barber. Hynkel is later arrested by his own soldiers in the woods near the border, who mistake him for the Jewish barber.
* [[Jack Oakie]] as Benzino Napaloni, the Diggaditchie of Bacteria (a parody of [[Benito Mussolini]], [[Il Duce]] of [[Kingdom of Italy|Italy]] and a reference to [[French First Republic|French]] emperor [[Napoleon Bonaparte]]).<ref name=Britannica/>
* [[Reginald Gardiner]] as Commander Schultz, a Tomainian who fought in World War I, who commands soldiers in the 1930s. He has his troops abstain from attacking Jews, but is arrested by Hynkel, after which he becomes a loyal ally to the barber. He later leads the invasion of Osterlich and helps the barber pretend to be Adenoid Hynkel in his (successful) attempt at saving Osterlich.

* [[Grace Hayle]] as Madame Napaloni, the wife of Benzino who later dances with Hynkel. In Italy, scenes involving her were all cut out of respect to Benito Mussolini's widow [[Rachele Mussolini|Rachele]] until 2002.
* [[Carter DeHaven]] as Spook, the Bacterian ambassador.
