Brief history of the JU 87 G-2 Kanonenvogel

The Junkers JU 87 G-2, known as the "Kanonenvogel," is one of the most recognizable versions of the legendary Stuka dive bomber used by the Luftwaffe during World War II (1939-1945). The G-2 variant was developed in response to the need to destroy Soviet tanks on the Eastern Front; it was equipped with two powerful 37 mm BK 37 cannons mounted under the wings. These aircraft served, among others, in the squadron commanded by Luftwaffe ace Hans Ulrich Rudel and played a major role in armored battles at Kursk and on other sections of the Eastern Front. The JU 87 G-2 was used from 1943 until the end of the war.
