Krauts

brutal arrogant triumphant

Nazi soldiers swarm the Bantu Wind, herding Captain Katanga's Black Pirates forward through punches and insults. Pirates seethe under orders not to fight back but yearn to kill these invaders. The soldiers smash the hold door and pour inside, grinning at the crated Ark of the Covenant. Their takeover hands the artifact to the Third Reich, forcing Indiana Jones into desperate recovery amid rising global stakes.
