This enthralling pictorial guide reveals the formidable power of the Ju 87 Stuka, a primary weapon of German Blitzkrieg tactics on the Eastern Front. Stukas blazed a trail of destruction across the Russian steppe as a crucial element of Operation Barbarossa, acting as flying artillery for the armies of the Third Reich from the opening shots to the Reich's final destruction. Period photographs from archives and private collections, accompanied by detailed captions, show how and where Stukas operated across Eastern Europe.
