“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, according to Wiki.]
