 Schwarm — Flight (military unit)


  • Stuka — acronym for Sturzkampfflugzeug, literally: "downfall combat aircraft" figuratively: *dive-bombing aircraft". Particularly associated with the German Ju-87 dive bomber, although the German term refers to any dive bomber.
  • Stukageschwader — a dive bomberwing/group, later Schlachtgeschwader in a ground support role (SG).
  • Stupa — a Sturmpanzer IV assault gun.
  • Sturm — assault.
  • Sturmabteilung (SA) — "assault detachment," party militia, not part of the army. In the beginning the Nazi Party's "Brown Shirt" bully-boys and street brawlers that grew by 1934 into a paramilitary force of nearly a half-million men; after the purge of its leadership by the Schutzstaffel (SS) and Gestapo during the Night of the Long Knives rapidly decreased in numbers and influence.
