The Sad Story of the Stuka Dive Bomber
The Stuka’s reputation did not survive the war it helped kick-off as it proved less and less survivable in the face of capable opposition.
Here’s What You Need to Remember: Perhaps no weapon was as closely associated with the Nazi German in early in World War II as the Stuka dive bomber, infamous for howling, near-vertical dive attacks on warships, battlefield targets and defenseless civilian communities like merciless birds of prey.

For those who thought BBC hypocrisy and double standards could not sink any lower after the Martin Bashir scandal, its coverage of the death of Max Mosley was something of an eye-opener.
The multi-millionaire former Formula One tycoon and occasional tax exile, who died of cancer this week aged 81, was in his younger years a revolting racist and enthusiast for apartheid, as well as a zealous supporter of his father, Oswald Mosley, the erstwhile leader of the British Union of Fascists.
In later life, he notoriously spent thousands of pounds staging a sadomasochistic orgy in which he whipped prostitutes dressed in striped pyjamas while counting in German and then spent millions more trying to stifle the Press for daring to expose his past and present.
Motor racing tycoon Max Mosley, whose death at 81 was announced last night, lived much of his early life in the long shadow of his Fascist parents before securing his legacy as a multi-millionaire.
