The funny aside... and just in case you are not certain as to the terms...

Scott...the acronym 'JG' - short for Jagdgeschwader, or roughly Hunter Group... is similar to a US fighter wing.  A JG was typically made up of 3 or 4 Gruppen or fighter groups - ie: I./JG11  II./JG11  III./JG11 - each with 3 to 4 staffeln or squadrons ie: 1./JG11  2./JG11  3./JG11 of I./JG11.   4./JG11  5./JG11  6./JG11 of II./JG11  etc...etc... So as with other airforces - there were many 'JG' 's during the war, and while they operated as independent groups, joint ops were common as well, particularly toward the end of the war.

Thanks Scott.  We are not all excellent, and those of us like me who are just average make up for it through dedication, real interest, teamwork, and the willingness of those who are exceptional to share their knowledge, skills, and experience...with all.  We enjoy the history behind the game, and try to honor the lives/deaths and service of those who took part in the titanic struggle in the skies of WWII.  On all sides.

See you up!
