Sturzkampfflugzeug was the general German terminology for dive-bombers, but the Ju 87 with its inverted gull wing, and fixed-undercarriage was the most famous and feared of all. It was ugly, accurate, but very vulnerable to enemy fighters; its use demanded air superiority. Was very effective in destroying forts or ships, or just scaring people. On the eastern front the last Ju 87 versions were employed as anti-tank aircraft.

Also a Primal Scream song.
