Re: Reichsverteidigungs stripes on fighter aircraft

Thanks for that. The plan to introduce unit (optional) recognition markings for all Jagdgeschwader seems to arisen from a conference on 27 October 1944 and notification went out to various recipients (e.g. naval authorities in Norway) during December whereas the Waffen-SS in Hungary got the word in mid-January 1945.

The text in your document seems to be the same as was sent to the Sea Defence Commander at Hammerfest from Armee Oberkommando Nord. I've attached my translation to this post.
