Tough Sergeant

This German sergeant was one of the soldiers serving under Colonel Dietrich. He and some of his men rode in the cargo truck carrying the Ark of the Covenant to Cairo. After Indiana Jones took over the truck the Sergeant ordered his men to climb into the cab to stop him. They all failed although one managed to get off a shot and wound Jones.

The Sergeant himself then climbed over the top of the truck and swung into the cab, overpowering Jones by punching his bullet wound, and threw the American through the windshield. At the behest of Dietrich, he attempted to crush Jones (who was clinging to the truck's grill) between his vehicle and Dietrich and Belloq's staff car, but Jones went under the truck, then climbed back inside. After another struggle the Sergeant got a taste of his own medicine and was thrown through the windshield. He couldn't hold onto the grill and fell off, and the truck ran him over.
