The Luftwaffe's 10.(Pz)/SG 2 was tasked with anti-tank missions. It flew Ju 87 Stukas, fitted with Bordkanone BK 3.7 cm cannons that were used for precision attacks on enemy armor.
Markisch Friedland, today known as Miroslawiec, was a location in Pomerania that likely served as an operational base or staging area for German forces, including Luftwaffe units, during the war. Stukas from 10.(Pz)/SG 2 would have conducted operations from airfields in such regions, focusing on tank-killing missions, especially during the Eastern Front campaigns against Soviet armored divisions. SG 2, led by notable figures such as Hans-Ulrich Rudel, gained a fearsome reputation, particularly in the Eastern theater, for its role in destroying a vast number of Soviet tanks.
Designed to function as a close support aircraft, the Ju 87 was first flown on September 17th, 1935. The Ju 87 had an innovative design that included automatic dive brakes under each wing-a feature that protected against the consequences of pilot blackout by ensuring recovery from an attack dive. Crewed by a pilot and rear gunner, the Ju 87 had twin 37mm cannons and a bomb that swung away from the propeller on an elongated U-shaped crutch. Its inverted gull wings improved pilot-to-ground visibility, gave the undercarriage a shorter height and made the Ju 87 instantly recognizable to its enemies. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
