Hans Ulrich Rudel was one of the most famous WW2 pilots. He joined the Luftwaffe already in 1936, he mostly flew the iconic Junkers Ju87 Stuka and destroyed unbelievable quantities of enemy equipment, but his early career as a combat pilot had a rather shaky start. But in September 1941, he finally made a name for himself as his Geschwader was sent to deal with a powerful Soviet battleship that was terrorizing German land troops advancing to Leningrad.
