What he saw was Jones's face slammed into the periscope. Amused, he turned to his crewmates and said in German, "The [[United States of America|Americans]]...they fight like girls!" Apparently hearing this offensive remark, Indiana kicked the periscope; the handle swung violently around and hit the trooper across the head. Later, after Indy had defeated Vogel, the soldier's unconscious body was carried over the cliff when the tank fell, killing him in the process.<ref name="IJatLC" /> ==Behind the scenes== The Periscope Soldier was portrayed by the uncredited stunt performer [[Nick Gillard]] in ''[[Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade]]''.<ref name="IJatLC" /> Gillard had previously worked as stuntman in [[George Lucas]]' original ''[[Star Wars]]'' trilogy and later went on to work as the swordmaster and fight scene choreographer in the prequel trilogy. Although the Periscope Soldier's rank is never mentioned in the film, his uniform epaulettes indicate that he is a [[Lieutenant]]. However, it's not clear if he is a Lieutenant or a Second Lieutenant.<ref name="IJatLC" /> In the [[Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (comic)|comic book adaptation]] by [[Marvel Comics]], the Periscope Soldier is absent, so the periscope scene is ommitted. In addition, the [[second tank crewman]] seems to be the only [[Nazi]] soldier aboard the [[Mark VII Tank]] alongside [[Colonel]] [[Ernst Vogel]].<ref>[[Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (comic)|''Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade'' comic]]</ref> The Periscope Soldier, along with the tank's crew, is absent from ''[[LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures]]'' and [[LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures|its sequel]]. Instead, Vogel controls the entire tank himself.<ref>''[[LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures]]''</ref><ref>''[[LEGO Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues]]''</ref> ==Appearances== *''[[Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade]]'' {{Fa}} ==Notes and references== {{Reflist}} [[Category:Characters appearing in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade]] [[Category:Germans]] [[Category:Nazis]] [[Category:Nazi military personnel]] [[Category:Deceased]] [[Category:Lieutenants]]
