Donovan’s Nazi forces are the primary antagonists in this event, engaged in a fierce firefight with Kazim’s Brethren. Their presence dominates the battlefield, with soldiers throwing grenades, firing machine guns, and manning the tank. The organization’s disciplined firepower and armored support make them a formidable threat, but their focus on the Brethren creates a temporary opening for Indy to act. Vogel’s orders to place Brody in the tank and Donovan’s dismissive attitude toward Kazim’s warning highlight their ruthless efficiency and ideological single-mindedness.
