A photo-essay page from a WWII-era issue of Der Adler, the Luftwaffe's official aviation magazine (French-language edition), documenting a Junkers Ju 87 Stuka dive-bomber squadron engaged in anti-tank operations against Soviet armor on the Eastern Front. The photographs depict the squadron in flight, aircrew being briefed, the unit commander — a highly decorated pilot credited with over 700 missions — and aerial reconnaissance of a destroyed Soviet T-34 tank, illustrating the close air support role German dive bombers played against Soviet armored forces during the war.
