Folks, this isn't history, it is "crap".

Richard, you're too kind! He enters the realms of fantasy even at the mundane level of "normal production machines of the D-8 type." If the Ju 87 D-8 was a "normal production machine" how come I've never seen a single aircraft of the type mentioned in any loss or strength report of any Nachtschlachtgruppe, nor in any Allied report on any Ju 87 wreck in Italy or Northwest Europe?
