A 1997 Cromwell/Lamancha Production War Documentary, narrated by Ross Dunsmore.

It was a sight and sound that induced fear and terror from all who saw and heard it. At the very heart of Blitzkrieg, was the Junker JU-87: the Stuka. Flown by skillful, highly motivated pilots, the full force of the Fuhrers premier weapon of the air was felt by soldiers and civilians alike, throughout Europe. From the coast of France to the front lines on the Russian border this flying artillery brought death and destruction. With the help of computer graphics, archive material (including a glimpse of very rare colour film) and new footage of the only surviving Stuka, housed at RAF Hendon, this film tells the story of an infamous and awesome weapon of war.
