The narrator is so ignorant that he doesn't know that it's Messerschmitt 109. Instead he says he joined the squadron of 109 mesmerizers

He flew the "Messiah Schmidt, " which, I presume, was similar to the blessed hand grenade!!

All of his 352 aerial victories were on the Eastern front. Would have been interesting to have seen what he could have achieved against the US and RAF pilots on the Western front and how he would have done in a FW190. Managed to buy a signed print of him a few years back, certainly one of my most prized possessions. He was also known as the Blonde Knight.
