Hobby Master 1/72 Air Power Series HA0158 Ju-87 G-1 GS+MH, 10.(Pz)/SG 1, Dubno, Ukraine, June 1944.
On the morning of June 22, 1944 Soviets launched
“Operation Bagration” to retake Belorussia and
Ukraine. 1.7 million Soviet troops along with 6,000 pieces of armor attacked 34
German divisions with
total surprise.
By July 17, 1944 Germany had lost 300,000 dead and 120,000 captured and lost more than
2,000 tanks. This meant the loss of German Army Group Center.
Still wearing its factory
registration, Ju-87 G-1 GS+MH from 4. Flieger-Division 10th (Pz) / SG 1 based at Dubno, Ukraine took part in
the failed defense.
