Summoned from North Africa to reinforce StG.2 in Bulgaria immediately prior to the invasions of Yugoslavia and Greece, L/StG.1 nevertheless found time to apply yellow markings of Operation Marita. This Junkers Ju-87 is unusual in having the entire tail unit painted in yellow (not just the rudder), presumably as a formation leaders aircraft. The Gruppe emblem is on the cowling, as is a depiction of 'Hans Huckebein', a cartoon raven popular in the 19th Century.
The Junkers Ju 87 or Stuka (from Sturzkampfflugzeug, "dive bomber") was a two-seat (pilot and rear gunner) German ground-attack aircraft of early World War II.
