Colonels, colonels, colonels. Why are there so many evil colonels in the Indiana Jones universe? Raiders gives us Colonel Herman Dietrich (plus good guy Colonel Musgrove). In Last Crusade we get Colonel Ernst Vogel. In Crystal Skull, not only do we get Colonel Antonin Dovchenko but also Irina Spalko is a colonel in addition to being a doctor. Then in the comics, novels and games there's colonels comin' outta the darn woodwork...
Colonel Abrecht Von Beck
Colonel Franz Kroeger
Colonel Curt Johan Vogel (Ernst Vogel's brother maybe?)
Colonel Klaus Kerner
There's a couple of majors (Toht and Gobler) and a few other random officers (Captain Mohler and "Lieutenant Belzig" in Raiders), but for the most part, all the main German and Russian officers are colonels. Is this all some astounding cosmic coincidence, or do the various screenwriters and book authors honestly not know of ranks higher than a colonel?
