Trivia: When we see Indy watching television in his apartment, there is a painting on the wall. This is a painting of the magical "Leap of Faith" bridge, which was seen in the climax of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989).

Trivia: SPOILER: The movie reveals that Indy and Marion's son, Mutt, was killed while serving in Vietnam. Shia LeBeouf, who played Mutt in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, has been vocal about his dissatisfaction with his performance in the film, much to the chagrin of both Harrison Ford and Steven Spielberg. That, coupled with the negative fan reception of his character/performance, are likely the reasons that LeBeouf did not return for this film.

Trivia: When Indy pulls the Nazi guard off the edge of the train, the guard lets out a Wilhelm scream.

Trivia: This is the first movie in the Indiana Jones series not directed by Steven Spielberg, nor with a story written by George Lucas.

Factual error: The four-barrelled Flak gun is shown running out of ammunition, namely a belt of rounds. This is most likely intended to be a Flak 38, which used twenty-round magazines, not belts. It had a relatively low rate of fire as the magazines had to be constantly swapped out, and two barrels were usually fired at a time. (00:16:58)

More quotes from Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny

Answer: He was an American Neo-Nazi.

raywest

But his surname sounds German. It might suggest that he is an American Neo-Nazi of German descent.

Yes, of German origin. "American" is not a race or ethnicity, is made up of many cultures, and is only a nationality. Klaber is an American citizen likely with German ancestry. American Neo-Nazis are of many different racial backgrounds. They adopt Nazi ideologies.

raywest

German is also a nationality, not a race. To be clear.

German is a nationality, referring to citizens of the country of Germany, and also an ethnicity, traditionally characterized by certain genetic traits, certain facial features, light-coloured eyes, blond hair, etc. "American" is only a designation of citizenship, not any particular racial or ethnic makeup.

raywest

That's not true. People with those genetic traits (like me) are not "German" or "Germanic." Maybe Aryan or Caucasian. Those are ethnicities. Not German. Germans are only distinguished by their use of the Germanic language, not their appearance. Also, certain Germanic tribes were very far from blond and light-colored eyes.
