For those of you who might think this is a "is indy immortal?" thread, don't worry, it's not. That question has been answered in abundance on these boards...however, I would like to talk about the Grail and its interest to the Nazi party.
How exactly would the Grail benefit them?
From the way I see it, yes, you gain eternal life, but that does not mean you are invulnerable to death by unnatural causes such as being shot, stabbed, etc.
Henry Sr. was shot and it healed his wound...but if he was shot again it's not like he would be invulnerable to the gun shot wound.
So, to me, Hitler or whoever could drink all they wanted, it doesn't mean they couldn't be killed...so I don't see the dire need to have the Holy Grail unless you just wanted to stay out of harms way for all eternity. It doesn't seem like a good "weapon" to have unless you live a very secluded, careful life.
(Yes, I'm obviously overthinking the whole plot behind the movie...I hope some of you don't mind and have some fun with this.)
