Biography
In 1936, after the destruction of the Flying Wing, Colonel Herman Dietrich decided to transport the Ark of the Covenant from Egypt to Berlin via a cargo truck full of Nazi soldiers, including this soldier.

When archaeologist Indiana Jones took control of the truck and killed Major Gobler and his men, this soldier and another took the role of leaders for two of their comrades ordering them to follow them through the edges of the truck to get to Jones and finish off him. Unfortunately for the soldier and his companions, Jones saw them through the rearview mirrors, and in the blink of an eye, this soldier and one of his companions were struck by leaflets of a palm tree and fell to the steep road.

Behind the scenes
The Rearview Soldier 1 was played uncredited by the late stuntman Peter Diamond in Raiders of the Lost Ark.
