: Don't recall seeing it in the Young Indy Chronicles, and the video which explains it (Chapter 7) is not released yet... How did Indy end up being called DeFonse? (And why?!) I assume it was because he lied about his age et al, but why that name?

: And as for Paul Freeman playing the leader of the old and the bold in Phantom Train - isn't the English General in that episode the Nazi leader from LC? There are too many actors cropping up as different characters in this series!!!

Yes While Indy was in the Belgian, recruitment office he was asked his name, date of birth(which was fabricated as well,) and some other information. Because he was American he had to join incognito. Because he didn't have a prior nom de guerre he had to think one up on the spot!
The first thing he saw was a recruitment poster in French stating something to the effect of "defend Belgium" The French word Indy saw was défense, pronounced just like you spelled it above. The recruitment officer was a little skeptical about this and even turned to take a look at the poster, but allowed Indy to enlist anyhow.
I have the majority of the videos recorded but it will take me some time to tell you exactly what it said.
