As Indiana Jones returns to our screens, John Preston looks at the Nazi archaeologist who inspired Spielberg’s hero, and finds a story more bizarre than anything the director could have dreamt of

I’m a part-time movie geek. I’ve read things with Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, watched the special features on the DVD box set about the making of Indiana Jones, and not once have I heard mention of Otto Rahn. Nor can I find any reference to Otto Rahn being connected except for articles related to this.

Lucas always said that the inspiration was old Republic Pictures movies (which look like Dan Dare, Flash Gordon or Tarzan) and James Bond.
