Ok Gang,
Here we go with all the Reichsverteidigung markings I could find: owing to their evolution, I elected to separate them in two different sets, one for 1944 and one for 1945:
1. 1944 markings (64 pictures):
- JG 1: 1
- JG 3: 1
- JG 3: 16
- JG 4: 2
- JG 25: 1
- JG 27: 12
- JG 53: 3
- JG 300: 22
- JG 301: 3

2. 1945 markings (136 pictures)
- JG 4: 12
- JG 5: 12
- JG 6 (?): 1
- JG 27: 32
- JG 51 (?): 3
- JG 53: 37
- JG 300: 19
- JG 301: 6
- JG 6*: 7
- JG 77: 1
- KG (J) 27: 2
- EKG (J): 1
Unidentified: 4

Just by compiling those two sets, many issues become clear. One of the biggest is the proper identification of the units with three color bands: to tell between JG 4, 6, 51 (?) and 300 is difficult at best.... Please note thus that all the proposed identifications are the ones commonly admitted so far; many are certainly arguable, not a few plain wrong... Hoping that this formidable collective intelligence which is TOCH will help straighten many records;-))
Let's roll
