Historical Information and Application

The Junkers Ju 87B-2 Stuka aircraft was developed for the Luftwaffe and was widely used by Germany during the 1939–1945 war, especially in the early stages of World War II, during the Invasion of Poland, the Battle of France, and the fighting on the Eastern Front. Its distinctive design, sound of its sirens during dives, and effectiveness as a dive bomber made it a symbol of Blitzkrieg. The B-2 version featured, among other things, a reinforced Jumo 211D engine, improved oil cooling, and better armament, making it the most recognizable among the Stukas.
