after all for the period you wish to consider the war in west was effectively over ...the Soviets were on the Oder by mid-end January 45 and even sortieing against USAAF bomber raids was to take a back seat to throwing everything east...
Yes but I was specifically speaking of JGs who lent what support they could to the Army---and I TOTALLY forgot that MOST JGs (Presumably: 1,3,4,5,6,11 & 77)were transferred to the East to do what they could THERE---as I recall all that remained in the West flying the 'tactical war' were JGs 2, 26, 27 & 53;
