Re: Placing the Fairey Battle.

I would say that tcolvin does not know that that the Ju-87 began having its dive brakes removed and became a level bomber beginning around the time of Kursk (July 1943).

On Oct 5 1943 dive bombing was officilly abandoned by the LW, with units having their designator name changed from StG to SG to reflect their new role of low level ground attack.

Increasingly, the Ju-87 was being replaced by Fw190 fighter bombers in the daylight attack role.
