Nazi Contingent

dutiful businesslike disciplined efficient oblivious

Nazi soldiers stationed at the island's submarine base unload the Ark from the docked U-boat onto a cart. They swarm the docking bay, handling cargo amid arriving officers like Shliemann and Belloq. Greeting arrivals with salutes through their tall captain, they perform routine tasks—passing inches from Indy's hidden whip without notice. Their disciplined focus advances Nazi control over the artifact, embodying the regime's logistical backbone in securing mystical relics for Major Toht's operation.
