Bust of Adolf Hitler

The Adolf Hitler's bust was a stone bust that represented the face of Nazi leader Adolf Hitler which was kept at Castle Brunwald at least prior 1938.

History
The bust, which was designed after Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, was at some point acquired by Baron Brunwald and was therefore stored at Castle Brunwald. When the Nazis transformed the castle in one of their operation bases led by the SS, the bust was stored at the SS communications room.

In 1938, when American archaeologists Indiana Jones and Henry Walton Jones, Senior caused the castle to begin to catch fire, they used the secret passage of the chimney to try to escape, only to find that an SS officer and his men were at the communications room. When discovered, the Joneses used the door to dismiss the officers and lock them in the burning dining room. When they realized that the officers were going to turn the door again to return to the communications room and kill them, the young Jones saw the bust and used it to block the door, sealing the officers in the burning room.

Behind the scenes
The Adolf Hitler's bust role in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade film was a later addition to the story, as any bust of Adolf Hitler was written to appear in any of Jeffrey Boam's earlier drafts of the film's script. Instead, Indiana Jones was to smash a wooden tool with his foot and use one of its broken pieces as a wedge to block the secret passage's door.
