From 1940 on the Brits came to believe that it was best for troops to shoot back at Stukas et al, rather than cower on the ground.
WWII era dive bombers like Stukas were actually pretty easy targets if you have a good director* feeding the gun. * analogue computer sometimes radar fed.
For good LMG (or GPMG) teams with a tripod, it's not that hard either. Need to not void yourself while shooting though ;-)!!
It's because of the steep, 'straight and slow' dive.
