The troop car at the island base.
This Mercedes-Benz G5 was a military vehicle used by the Nazis under the command of Colonel Dietrich. One fitted with a machine gun and driven by Major Gobler served as an escort vehicle for the convoy carrying the Ark to Cairo. It was destroyed when Indiana Jones forced it over a canyon edge.
Another one was seen later on at the Nazi island base near Crete.
