GERMAN, BAVARIAN DIAL.:
Jessas im Stuka. ‡‡
‡‡ ) “Jesus in a
Stuka!” [ NOTE:
the Stuka, Ju 87, or Junkers, was a Nazi 2-man dive bomber aircraft first
tested for combat as part of the Luftwaffe’s support of Franco in 1936 during
the Spanish Civil War ; the Stuka was very successful during the Blitzkriegs of
1938 through 1942, as well as the early Russian front campaigns, & in the
Balkans, Mediterranean & African campaigns ; its flaws were revealed during
the Battle of Britain — lack of manoeuverability being the least of it — ,
& it was phased out & by 1944 replaced by the Focker. — Wiki ]
