With the advance towards the Soviet Capital of Moscow well under way, Rudel and crew bump into the SS after the capture a spy messing with their airplanes.
Also I tried to find out if this Alex guy was based on a real life character but I don’t think he was and is purely a fictional character for the manga. Though there was a mechanic named Rothmann that worked with Rudel during WW2.
