Vogel noted that the Navajo dialect was regarded as "completely unintelligible" to other tribes and that only twenty-eight Americans were thought to possess a more than superficial knowledge of the language.
In addition, Vogel noted that, according to Johnston, the Navajo tribe was the only one that had not yet been infiltrated by Germans posing as students, art dealers, and anthropologists in order to study the various tribal dialects of American Indians.
Vogel also stated, on the basis of Johnston's assurances, that one thousand Navajos with the necessary qualifications could be found for the project.
Vogel almost intercepted both Joneses as they were boarding a zeppelin; but Indy, disguised as a ticket taker, punched the colonel and threw him out the window into a pile of suitcases.
Vogel clutched onto the back of the tank turret as the tank fell, and was crushed seconds later when the tank landed and rolled over him several times on the rocks below.
Elsa Schneider at one point addresses Vogel as "Herr Oberst," however Oberst is a rank in the Wehrmacht, and he is a member of the SS.
