Mechanic (individual)

The second German Mechanic was much smaller than his companion, the huge and hulking first German Mechanic. In 1936 was one of two mechanics servicing the Nazis' Flying Wing at Tanis. When the plane was being prepped to fly the Ark of the Covenant out to Berlin, he found Indiana Jones attempting to board the plane, and, armed with a wrench, demanded he come down. Jones attacked him and the two fought. The mechanic was knocked unconscious when Jones threw him against the side of the plane.

He lay where he fell for Jones' entire fistfight with the other, bigger mechanic, but when the Flying Wing broke the nozzle off a gas truck, sending gasoline leaking everywhere, some of it flowed to where he was lying and woke him up. Amazingly, he managed to get up and escape with his life before the entire airfield blew up.

Behind the scenes
Despite Pat Roach's character being credited as "1st Mechanic," Roach's character is actually the second of the two mechanics to appear onscreen. This mechanic appears onscreen first.
