Despite being mentioned several times and making a cameo appearance, Hitler is obviously The Heavy of at least the first and third films in the series as the Nazis (including René Belloq and Walter Donovan) were all answering to him since he's behind the plans to obtain the Ark and the Holy Grail.As the historical Hitler committed suicide in 1945 with the defeat of Germany likely and Berlin about to be invaded, it's safe to assume that this Hitler suffered the same fate. It's completely unknown what happened to Adolf Hitler afterwards, but like in real-life, Hitler is stated to have started the World War II, during which Indy continues to fight the Nazis. Not knowing the man was a disguised Indiana Jones or that the book was the Grail diary his agents needed to find the Holy Grail, Hitler took the book, motioned one of his aides for a pen, signed the book, and returned it to the startled 'officer' before continuing on his way. As he was being escorted from the forum, he came face to face with a man in a Nazi officer's uniform who held a book in his hands. In 1938, Hitler was presiding over a book-burning rally in Berlin outside the Institute of Aryan Culture. After Indiana Jones thwarted Hitler's plans on numerous occasions, including his desire to claim the Ark, the Führer personally assigned Hans Degen to assassinate Jones but the attempt ended in failure. Hitler met with archaeologist René Belloq in 1936 to hire his services in acquiring the lost Ark of the Covenant. His interest in the occult and in archaeological artifacts prompted Nazi research and recovery expeditions into artifacts to either support his views of Aryan racial superiority or to be used as weapons against Nazi enemies. He was portrayed by the late Michael Sheard, who also played Admiral Ozzel in Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. To acquire both artifacts, he hires people like René Belloq and Walter Donovan to find them for him and has many fierce officers like Herman Dietrich and Ernst Vogel, willing to accomplish his orders. Like in real-life, Adolf Hitler was the leader of Nazi Germany and is described by Colonel Musgrove as being 'obsessed with the occult', hence his interest in acquiring the Ark of the Covenant and the Holy Grail. Something of such antiquity belongs in Germany.Īdolf Hitler, also known as the ' Führer', is the overarching antagonist of the Indiana Jones series, being the unseen overarching antagonist of Raiders of the Lost Ark and the overarching antagonist of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. The guy is like a hypnotist - a madman who can make a whole country nuts.
