StG 77 was a combined unit, known as a
'Schlachtgeschwader' and operated the Fw 190
in ground-attack missions as well.
Many other Stuka units operated this way to
the end of the war.
The Luftwaffe's individual Dive-bomber units
ceased to exist after the defeat at Kursk.
Many Ju 87s flew missions as fire-fighting role when needed along the front.
Toward the end of the war, the Ju 87s was
replaced by the ground-attack version of the Fw 190.

Junkers Ju 87D-3 (S2+LT?) of 9./St.G 77 this
is my best guess.
