Sliding door soldier

The Truck Soldier with Gun was a Nazi soldier who in 1936, under the orders of Colonel Dietrich and the Tough Sergeant, he and his comrades got on a cargo truck which contained the Ark of the Covenant to defend it from American archaeologist Indiana Jones.

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 his Sergeant watched as their comrades, under the Sergeant's orders, went to the driver's cab through the truck awning to annihilate Jones, but Jones quickly got rid of them knocking them off to the steep road.

After the last soldier had broken a part of the awning as he fell on the steep road, this soldier, on orders of his companion, managed to reach the cabin, and once there, grabbed from the door, shoot Jones in the arm. In pain, Jones kicked the door open, leaving the soldier at the mercy of falling on the road. The soldier grabbed, but almost risked being run over by the tires of the vehicle and after beating his feet against a small ravine, the door gave way and broke, causing the soldier to fall to the road, much to the displeasure of his companion.

Behind the scenes
The Truck Soldier with Gun was played uncredited by the late stuntman Bill Weston in Raiders of the Lost Ark. Weston also played the Nazi Motorcycle Driver in the same film.
