6th, the wing over attack was only show for the movies, normally the target was approached in level flight and when it just had passed the bottom window the nose was pushed down until the target appeared in the sights, this way there was no danger of becoming disoriented and one had more time for aiming.

The maneuver described (nose over/push rather than Wing over) is confirmed in one of the many video interview clips at the
Heinzmigeod Website. Heinz was a Stuka pilot who passed away shortly after the series of interviews were completed in 2010.
