Command Center's 'DANGER - MUNITIONS' Door

A large, heavy metal door sits halfway down a wall toward the Tabernacle in the Nazi command center at the tunnel's end. Bold German stencils mark it 'DANGER - MUNITIONS.' Indy scales a stack of supplies for a quick recon and spots it among key targets, his gaze locking on the threat as he weighs sabotage options under time pressure.

Silent Recon: Tabernacle and the Munitions Door

The heavy metal door, stenciled 'DANGER - MUNITIONS', is visually flagged by Indy as a consequential hazard and possible sabotage target. Its presence reframes his reconnaissance—introducing the risk of explosives or stored munitions that could either be used against him or unintentionally trigger catastrophe if disturbed.

Before: Closed and secured halfway down a wall toward the Tabernacle, clearly marked in German as hazardous, integrated into the command center's layout.

After: Unchanged physically in the immediate moment; its strategic significance has been noted by Indy and will influence his subsequent planning.
