Luftwaffe Stuka at war against Tito's partisans in
Yugoslavia, 1941-1945. The very name, Stuka, is synonymous
with the screaming sirens and the crump of heavy bombs, and
for the lightly armed Partisan forces it meant despair,
defeat and often, death. For five long years Stuka units in
the Balkan theater came and went, depending on the war
fortunes of the Axis. The bomb loads that the Ju 87 carried
and the precision with which they were delivered was a
winning combination. In September, 1943 it was the Stuka
which spearheaded the defeat of Italian forces, and until
the last day of the war it was the first line of defence
against the might of The Red Army.
