In 1940 the Hungarian Air Force established an independent dive bomber group equipped with Ju-87 B-2 Stukas. The group used these for training their 2 squadrons until they received new Ju-87 D-3 and D-5’s. In 1943 2/2 Zuhanobombazo szazad (Dive Bomber Sqn.) called “Kokuszdio” (“coconut”) later renamed 102/2 was involved in fighting on the Eastern Front. Around the end of October 1943 the group was ordered back to Hungary. During their time at the Eastern Front the group had flown 1,200 sorties and 102/2 itself managed to drop 800 tons of bombs.
