2. If the bomb setting is lower than the current altitude, the aircraft goes into a dive with a release and auto-pullout at the preset altitude. Thus, if you are at 5000m, and the setting is for 800m, you'll go into a dive and have a bomb release and pull-out at 800m.
The above applies to the Ju 88. I do not know about the Ju 87.
