I think it has something to do with Napoleon's horse who liked apples to eat. Because of the bad battle situation there were no apples for the horse only the dark bread which we know as pumpernickel. Pomb=apple nickle is close to the name of the horse which I cannot remember. The horse's name was something like Nicho. PompNicho or Pumpernickel.

I am a student as Western Culinary Institute and we recently made pumpernickel, and our instructor told us the myth of Napoleon's horse. Pumpernickel had been around long before Napoleon was even a thought in anybody's mind. It comes from the area around Germany or something like that, but pumpen meaning "fart" and Nickel being a different variation of Nicholas which in this region meant "the devil" so basically it's known as the "devil's fart." Sounds good doesn't it?
