Biography[]

When the American archaeologist Indiana Jones broke into one of Castle Brunwald's bedrooms, in an attempt to rescue his father, the SS officer and two guards burst into the room and demanded the Grail diary. Following an argument between the father and son, Jones knocked the officer into the wall, took his gun, and shot all three men, prompting Henry to show shock at what his son had done. The Joneses had to step over their dead bodies to exit the room.[1] Walter Donovan and the guards who later guarded the Joneses at the castle's common room found the "handiwork" Jones did with the officer and his men shortly afterwards, regarding their murders as "un-gentlemantly behaviour", hence Colonel Ernst Vogel's desire to punish the Joneses for the deaths of his men by insisting their executions.[2]

Behind the scenes[]

The Principal SS Officer at Castle was portrayed by the late Luke Hanson in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.[1] The film's script, however, refers to him simply as "Officer". He was voiced by Phil Proctor in the Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade Read-Along Adventure, who also voiced Walter Donovan.[3]

Although the character's rank is never mentioned in the film, his insignia would indicate that he is a Major.[1]

Hasbro released an action figure of the Principal SS Officer at Castle under the name "German Officer".[4]
