I'm looking for biographical information on this pilot, who apparently was a member of a Sturmgruppe and wrote an autobiography some years ago.

first combat sortie 7.7.44 with II./JG300 - last combat sortie 27 April 1945 -shot down in combat with P-47s near München - full story is in 'Bataille dans le ciel d'Allemagne' Vols 1 & 2 by Lorant & Goyat. There was an English translation planned via Eagle Editions.
Rusack's self serving 'bio' was a very fanciful account published in a 'Der Landser' special, some of which featured in Walther Dahl's memoir..
