I never thought about that! It was supposedly 1936.
I googled it, and indeed it's a well queried dilemma:

And a search shows the Afrika Korps didn't form until 1941, and they used green uniforms for the first few weeks!:
So there you go: artistic licence. But it's intriguing to see how the fans in the post above start to embellish their heroes with a background story to make it all feasible.
The Nazis are the ultimate force to represent evil, and if you're using a Joseph Campbell mythic template for your comic-book hero, and the Ark as the seat of the Divine, you need real self-destruct baddies from the Abyss.
'just goes to show how we suspend disbelief. I'm not even sure most Americans even saw the Nazis as a potential threat back then, enough to send agents anyhow!
Did any of the Indy stories actually take place DURING WWII? Spielberg missed a trick there.

There is an astonishing, possibly alternative, reality forming... what if the occurrences in RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARC are not reliable as historical documents?

Dear God, I thought, 'Is my statement about the Nazis really worth a dissertation?' Or, 'Is this irony?'
Thank goodness this pressing question remains unanswered.

Dammit, now the spam is gone, my post makes no sense. Future archaeologists will be led astray.
