Re: Meaning of "Sturzkampfgeschwader 2"

"Stuka" is only a German abbreviation for "Sturzkampfflugzeug" (I hope the orthograph is correct), which litterally means : dive-bomber.

So, no need to worry about this (If it had been indicated as "Stuka Geschwader", I would have really wondered about the authenticity of the documents... ).

Hope this can help you,

Kolya.
