Somme, 1916 / Germany, 1916 - The Trenches of Hell
The Battle of the Somme was one of the bloodiest events during the First World War, with nearly one million soldiers wounded or killed. Indy has been left in charge of the 9th Belgian Infantry after the commanding officer was killed in an unseen adventure. Indy suspects his fellow soldier Jacques of murder. Placed under the command of French lieutenant Alain Moreau, rivalry between the Allied troops and within the unit seem to be a bigger threat than the Germans, until the horrors of trench warfare are revealed.Facing artillery and machine gun fire, gas attacks and flamethrowers, any advance the Allies make is quickly lost again. Haunting themes from musical score help to set the tone of the episode, with tense confrontations, bloody battles, and the terror of attackers emerging out of the clouds of smoke and gas. This is one of the few Young Indiana Jones episodes not scored by Laurence Rosenthal or Joel McNeely. Instead, the score was composed by Frédéric Talgorn, a well known French film score composer best known for his genre works such as Delta Force 2, Fortress, Robot Jox, and Heavy Metal 2000.Talgorn also composed music for the second half of this two part adventure, which starts after a victory in battle at the Somme quickly turns to defeat and Indy's capture by German forces. Participating in a foiled escape attempt, Indy - who has assumed yet another identity - is sent to a maximum security prison at Dusterstadt. There, he meets an international assemblage of fellow captives with a variety of schemes in mind for escaping the escape-proof jail, including a young but intensely thoughtful Charles de Gaulle, who later become the leader of France. Everyone wants Indy's help to break out, but failing means learning some painful lessons.Talgorn's score captures the tone of the episodes perfectly - bone chilling themes played during the battlefield attack with gas and fire, and suspenseful queues while infiltrating the German tunnels, and later during Indy and de Gaulle's escape attempt. Working from notes by Joel McNeely, Talgorn also composed a score to the episode Paris, 1908, but the score was not used.
German East Africa, 1916 / The Congo, 1917
Although portions of Joel McNeely's score for German East Africa, 1916 and The Congo, 1917 were already presented in Volume 2, there is a wealth of music in these episodes, later edited together into Oganga: The Giver and Taker of Life, which bears revisiting. The new music includes the introductory segments of the episodes, sadly excised by the film edit Oganga: The Giver and Taker of Life. The introduction to German East Africa, 1916 shows an older Indiana Jones confronting modern prejudice. In the adventure itself, Indy is forced to commit treason against his commanding officer to save the life of a young child as his troops march overland; the survivors of that ordeal are faced with a deadly journey five hundred miles downriver by boat to retrieve weapons needed to hold off a German advance. The introduction to The Congo, 1917 has an older Indy remarking about the power of individuals to enact change, and the struggle to save lives. Indy's troops attempt the return by boat but succumb to illness and are saved by the ministrations Albert Schweitzer - a German citizen who rejects the artificial divisions between people invented by governments. This episode marks a turning point for Indy; up until his encounter with Schweitzer he was fighting what he believed was a just war, despite often being tasked with nonsensical orders. Schweitzer's "reverence for life" fresh in his mind, being faced with sets him on a different path - trying to end the war by taking a more active role. McNeely blends Mozart's Clarinet Concerto and J. S. Bach's Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring into the score while the episodes show Indy awakening to a deeper understanding of the world.
Florence, 1908 • India, 1910 • Travels with Father • Verdun, 1916 • Paris, 1916

Attack of the Hawkmen
Following his meeting with Albert Schweitzer in the Congo, Indy decides to take a more active role in bringing the war to an end. He and his friend Remy forge papers to join the French Secret Service, and Indy is assigned to the Lafayette Escadrille in Ravenelle as a reconnaissance photographer. Flying low and slow over enemy lines is a high risk assignment.
Despite the danger - or perhaps embracing it - the pilots including French ace Charles Nungesser are a rowdy, adventurous bunch and the action is joined to an equally exciting and Emmy-award winning score by Joel McNeely. While on a mission, Indy's plane is forced down and he and the pilot are captured by none other than Baron Manfred von Richthofen, soon to be known as the "Red Baron".
After Indy's escape, the classic tunes Garryowen and The Young Aviator Lay Dying are sung by the pilots, and Indy is a closer witness than he'd like to more dogfights as the battle with Richthofen becomes personal. But of course Indy survives his mission, and returns to Paris.
Indy's next assignment is to intercept Dutch aircraft designer Anthony Fokker, brilliant young designer of the famed Dr.I Triplane. His mission: to deliver a letter enticing Fokker to work for the Allies. Dropped by parachute into Hanover by Charles Nungesser, Indy is called upon to use his training as a spy, but misses his appointment with Fokker and must pursue him to Ahlhorn. Attempts to deliver the letter to Fokker while in transit are accompanied by more of McNeely's score, turning from the boisterous adventure to the spy thriller.
In the base at Ahlhorn, Fokker shares his motivations - freedom to design his machines, not nationalism. His objective complete, if not successful, Indy takes advantage of his camera to photograph the Forssman triplane bomber, an ungainly craft but capable of reaching New York from Europe. When he is discovered, the firefight leads to an explosion in the Zeppelin sheds, doing catastrophic damage and destroying the bomber in an action-packed climax evocative of his later theatrical adventures. Indy escapes back to Hanover on a motorcycle, and then flies back to Paris with Nungesser - full throttle and no brakes.
Austria, 1917
Indy's adventures as a spy continue as he is tasked with escorting Prince Sixtus and Prince Xavier to bring the French terms for a separate peace negotiated with Charles I of Austria. This tense thriller borrows heavily from the look and mood of noir films, notably The Third Man. The princes and Indy must cross the border from neutral Switzerland to Austria by train, and are nearly discovered.
Russia, 1917 • Barcelona, 1917 • Prague, 1917
After a brief stop in Russia, we return to Barcelona - already featured prominently on Volume 1. Here, espionage is given a lighter tone in a slapstick episode, followed up the dark comedy of Prague where Indy comes face to face with Kafka.
