Re: Correct Luftwaffe unit designation needed in short hand
Quote:
A) All German nouns start with an upper case letter: so Stab, Gruppe, Staffel, Geschwader etc. B) The numbers of Gruppen and Staffeln have a dot after them because that's how German ordinals are written: 1. = 1st, II. = 2nd etc. C) No dots after Geschwader numbers: think Jagdgeschwader 1, not 1st Jagdgeschwader. |

and Arabic numerals are used for Staffeln numbers whereas Roman numerals are used for Gruppen numbers.
