So, what exactly is "JFV"?
gang
I keep seeing people referring to JFV from Jochen Prien. Sorry to seem like a dull, monolingual type of fellow, what exactly IS this book/book series/etc? How is it organized (I keep seeing reference to 'Teil' and 'Teilband' and a random translation just calls it 'part' IE: Teil 1 = Part 1) and what is supposed to be/have/describe? Thanks, ahead of time NM |

The easiest thing is to look up Die Jagdfliegerverbände der Deutschen Luftwaffe 1934 bis 1945. This range of books were initially published by Struve's Buchdruckerei but from Teil 11/II he switched to Buchverlag Rogge GmbH To get an idea of the magnitude of Jochen's bold undertaking look at this site. https://www.vdmedien24.de/Prien-Buchverlag-Rogge Not all the books are listed, but a fair number. So far 31 volumes has been published (the latest is Teil 15/I) and I think most of us are eagerly waiting for Tel 15/II! Quite frankly it is an amazing undertaking/achievement from the team led by Jochen Prien Cheers Stig |

Re: So, what exactly is "JFV"?
If you take a look at the sub-forums under the 12 o’clock high “Books and Magazines” section, you’ll see one headed “Die Jagdfliegerverbände der Deutschen Luftwaffe 1934–1945” and that’s what everyone’s on about — a monumental undertaking by Jochen Prien.
Jagdfliegerverbände (=fighter units) gets shortened to JFV, i.e. the initial letters of the three words which make up the compound noun (which are a big feature of German). The whole series is broken into numbered volumes (e.g. on a theatre of operations or timeframe) and some of those volumes take up more than book. So: Band (plural Bände) = a volume which may consist of several parts or Teile (singular Teil). |

Wow. A year by year, month by month breakdown of the fighter force by staffel/gruppe? |

..more or less. One more volume and then the authors are into 1945.
