Not much mention of Dive Bombers there! The Luftwaffe _did_
have Dive-Bombers, these were aircraft specifically designed
for Close-Air-Support of advancing troops

Just about all the Luftwaffe bombers including the He177 were
theoretically capable of dive bombing (stressed for it plus dive
brakes) however it seems that actual dive bombing was confined to
Stuka units due to the specialist training required.
