Reichsverteidigung

Late in the war, units which had the order to protect the Homeland ("Reich"), received a fuselage band.
Other than before, these were now not a marking for a special place or theatre,
but a recognizing help for each unit, and each had its own colors for the band.

The Reichsverteidigungsband of Jagdgeschwader 54 was just blue:

(QUOTE: Osprey: JG 54): On 11. (17.?) July I./JG54 was the first unit to move in to Sarudinye.
This small, primitive dirt strip was to be its home base for nearly two months. Pilots and groundcrew alike lived under canvas, which did little to protect against either the blazing heat of the summer sun or the clouds of choking dust which were thrown up every time an aicraft took of from the baked earth runway. Within weeks Sarudinye had been enlarged (But not improved) to accomodate the whole Geschwader. And in august, the other two Gruppen were tranferred in from similar fields in the nearby Ostrow and Lake Samra regions.
Location of Sarudinye, Zarudin'ye: 95 km SSE of Narva, Latitude: 58° 36' 20 N, Longitude: 28° 49' 51 E)

Note: I wonder, why these are Bf 109E-types, while the archives say II./JG 54 already converted to the "Fritz" much earlier?
The Emil number 11 fought with JG 77 on the Balkans in late may.
