When John and Hans first meet


Every scene is usually well set up which makes it jarring that John bumps into Hans without any explanation of why Hans is there alone.

It would have only taken 15 seconds of exposition for Hans to say 'I'm the only one left who can check the bomb, Karl meet me there when you are done here.' or something like that.

Was it ever explained by filmmakers or is there a scene missing?

He says he’ll check the explosives in an earlier scene, and orders Karl and others to ‘get the detonators’.

Looks like you found a plot hole
