[[WMG: "The space between spaces" is an inadvertent verbal BrownNote.]]
That would explain people's irrational hatred of that line, and their inability to explain their hate beyond vague bull that doesn't answer the question, like, "Well, it's proof of what a horrible screenwriter Lucas has become."

[[WMG: Hitler was never going to weaponize the Ark of the Covenant.]]
The theory above says that Indy could've ended the war by letting Belloq bring the Ark to Germany, but it wouldn't have worked out. Why? Because the real-life Hitler didn't believe in magic- that was Himmler's deal, as outlined on the {{Ghostapo}} page. However, Hitler did appreciate the value of symbolism. So, instead of sticking the Ark on a tank and driving through Europe, Hitler would have put the famous Jewish relic on display, as a sign that the Nazis were now God's chosen people- and maybe add in some crap about how the Ark was really an Aryan relic that the Jews stole- and then gone back to his [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wunderwaffe Wunderwaffe]].

*** Really belongs more on the JamesBond WMG page, but...it only {{Jossed}} the idea that the Bond identity is attached to the 007 number automatically. It did NOT Joss, and in fact strongly indicated, that "James Bond" is a cover identity (hence M's "when I knew you were you" line.") All of which goes along with other little hints like Lazenby's "This never happened to the other fellow." So (to tie this back in) Indy's Dad has a Scottish cousin who becomes the first James Bond.

[[WMG: The Brothers of the Cruciform Sword from ''Last Crusade'' are [[AssassinsCreed Assassins]]]]
Italy (and Turkey, for that matter) ''were'' where the Assassins were strongest for quite some time thanks to Ezio, but by World War II were in decline, what with most of the major European powers being controlled by the Templars and all. The Brothers of the Cruciform Sword are the successors/descendants of the Turkish Assassins formerly stationed in Constantinople who hid the true identity of their organization from Indy and others (mainly by changing their name and symbol). They were trying to keep the Grail--actually a Piece of Eden of some kind--from falling into Templar hands by any means necessary. Indy isn't a Templar ''or'' an Assassin, so aside from their first encounter in Venice, they had no reason to obstruct him, but they ''did'' with the Nazis, who are led by the Templars whether they know it or not.
* The Ark is probably a Piece of Eden, too, some kind of weapon more similar to the Swords of Eden rather than an Apple or Staff.

[[WMG: Raiders: The Brits are in from the beginning]]
They know that the Nazis are up to no good, but they aren't going to start an international incident [[SillyReasonForWar over denying permission for an archaeological excavation]], let alone in the period of Appeasament when they know that Britain is not ready for war. So they pass the intelligence to the Americans and agree that the Yanks will find about the exact nature of the Nazis plans and deal with it more or less quietly.

*** I think people read too much into that "shift." It's possible that Marcus was good at (and a huge fan of) field work - but the respectable, legitimate, by-the-book kind of fieldwork, where everything's been cleared by the proper authorities, there are teams of professional diggers to assist you and do the heavy lifting, etc. Stealing artifacts from under the noses of a Nazi army isn't exactly conventional archaeology, even the "field work" kind.
*** Thus, he's out of his depth for all of Crusade as he and Indy are doing everything on the fly, operating without a safety net, and in the middle of a ton of fighting, none of which he'd be used to. He thought he'd love to go after the Ark (or the Grail), but it wasn't the kind of field work he was used to.

\n*** He said "You have chosen... wisely. But, beware: the Grail cannot pass beyond the Great Seal, for that is the boundary, and the price, of immortality." What that means is if you cross the seal, you are no longer immortal.




The Grail guardian knight that Indy met was extremely old and frail. Even with the Grail extending his life, he clearly did not have the vigor to do much defending of the Grail, seeing as he toppled over from just lifting his sword. Henry Jones Sr. saw the knight, and likely asked Indy for every minute detail of the trek to retrieve the Grail. Knowing that someone else would eventually find the Grail's hiding place, Henry Sr. chose to fake his own death and become the Grail's guardian.

** Extremely unlikely. The Nazis were pretty much not going to defeat the Soviets, and even assuming the Soviets ''were'' defeated, the Nazis would no longer be fighting on two fronts, so any Allied invasion would face at least twice the resistance. And on top of that, Italy, by virtue of being so mountainous, was harder to fight in than Normandy.
