Those guys represent those Russian speaking Germans that wear Russian uniforms and sneak around getting into Russian mess halls finding out all the good stuff and reporting back to their higher higher all the Russian intentions, conditions, morale, etc. Spies in short. I think.

As I understand it the Russians had some German speaking dudes as well, just not as many.

Not much changed this turn.  I gained one hex in the Odessa area but other than that it's just more of the same.  Here's the minimap view of turns 1 thru 12 to prove that nothing remarkable happened:
