History Recap / YoungIndianaJonesAndTheTalesOfInnocence

* ArtisticLicenceHistory: At play thanks to the changing of the timeline of the Northern Italy part to November 1917 for the re-edited TV movie. Ernest Hemingway did not arrive in Italy until June 1918 -- which was the original dateline for this episode.

* RedHerring: Alluded to more than anything else -- you might think that Germans serving in the Foreign Legion would have something to do with guns being supplied to Berbers rebelling against the French colonial government in North Africa. But you'd be wrong.

Indy's next assignment takes him to North Africa where he is tasked with discovering who is secretly supplying arms to the Berber rebels in Morocco. He is joined by two other Americans -- novelist Edith Wharton and journalist Lowell Thomas. Indy and Edith soon find themselves attracted to each other, despite their age difference.

* RealAwardFictionalCharacter: It is established (by Ernie recognising his medal ribbons) that Indy has been awarded the ''Croix de Guerre'' and the ''Médaille Militaire'', both of which are real military decorations. In the case of the former, it is unclear whether Indy was awarded the Belgian or French version (the ribbons are similar, and while Indy is an officer in the Belgian Army, he is working for French military intelligence, in addition to which, when he was a corporal he was often in a unit that fought under French command). While the latter is a French bravery decoration, it was sometimes awarded during UsefulNotes/WorldWarI for wounds received in combat, which is the inference Ernie makes from Indy having this medal (which Indy does not correct).

* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Indy and Ernie get so engrossed in an argument over Giulietta that they fail to notice that they and the Italian soldiers they're with are under attack from German aircraft. It's only when Ernie gets injured that they start to pay attention to what's going on.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Ernie's relationship advice to Indy (basically, buy her more flowers and gifts than your rival) serves as an early indication that Ernie is, in fact, Indy's rival for Giulietta's affections -- especially given that we've already seen that the other guy has indeed given her more flowers than Indy has. Later on, Ernie tells Indy to look him up if he's ever in Chicago; this [[Recap/YoungIndianaJonesAndTheMysteryOfTheBlues will happen]] [[note]] or rather, had already happened given the AnachronicOrder in which the ''Young Indiana Jones'' episodes were originally shown -- but chronologically, that adventure takes place a couple of years after the war ends [[/note]].

* CallForward: Indy declares more than once that after the war, he's going to become an archaeologist. Also, he goes to Venice and has sex with a beautiful woman; [[Film/IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade not for the last time]]. No wonder tells Elsa that he loves Venice.

* TakeAThirdOption: Rather than choose between the two Americans, Giulietta wants to marry Alfredo, her childhood sweetheart. Having both been rejected, Indy and Ernie bury the hatchet.
* TranslationConvention: Averted -- when the characters speak German and Italian, that's what we hear, with English subtitles.
* UnknownRival: Indy and Ernie do not initially realise that they are this to each other. Their friendship quickly evaporates once they do.

* BeenThereShapedHistory: A fairly minor example -- Ernest Hemingway only went to Spain because Indiana Jones told him what a great country it was -- in addition to which, Indy gave him an idea for a book title.

* CallBack: Combined with CallForward, funnily enough, as this is neither the first nor last time that Indy gets [[Recap/YoungIndianaJonesAndTheDemonsOfDeception attacked by]] [[Recap/YoungIndianaJonesAndTheAttackOfTheHawkmen a German]] [[Film/IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade aircraft]].
