The Periscope Soldier was among the German crewmen on the Hatay tank during the journey to the Grail Temple in 1938 as part of the Nazi effort to find the Holy Grail.
Biography
During the fight on top of the tank between Indiana Jones and Colonel Ernst Vogel, he heard the commotion and raised a periscope to examine the situation. What he saw was Jones's face slammed into the periscope. Amused, he turned to his crewmates and said in German, "The 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.
Behind the scenes
The Periscope Soldier was portrayed by the uncredited stunt performer Nick Gillard in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. 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.
The Periscope Soldier, along with the Mark VII Tank's crew, is absent from LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures and its sequel. Instead, Vogel controls the entire tank himself.
