- "They have a tank!"
- ―Indiana seeing the tank through binoculars[src]
The Mark VII Tank[1] was a large tank of World War I vintage. It possessed a main forward-facing cannon, as well as two smaller cannons on each side of the vehicle.
A Mark VII tank was given by the Sultan of Hatay to the Nazi expedition sent to find the Holy Grail in 1938. It was used to defend the Nazi convoy on its way to the Canyon of the Crescent Moon.
On the way to the Grail Temple, there was an ensuing fight on the tank. As Indiana Jones was busy fighting Colonel Ernst Vogel on the top of the tank, his father, Henry and Marcus Brody were making their escape. The tank was destroyed shortly after the Hatay driver was indirectly killed by a Nazi soldier knocked unconscious by Brody. With nobody at the controls, the tank drove aimlessly off a nearby cliff, killing everyone aboard except Indiana Jones.
Behind the scenes
The Mark VII tank was based on the real-world Tank Mark VIII which possessed no main top turret.
