[edit] Mölders was not general

Mölders's last rank was Oberst, not General. This is a very usual mistake, because Mölders's last post was General der Jagdflieger -- but it was a post, not rank. I've edited the article accordingly. - Mikko H. 10:32, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Huh?

The article says " 3rd squadron of J-88 Group". I have no idea what that refers to. III./JG88? 3./JG88? Something else? Can somebody who knows Mölders' career clarify? Trekphiler 04:36, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Clarified it a bit - it refers to the 3. squadron of a 4 squadron Jagdgruppe. Abel29a 19:04, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Leutnant Rank

The article had been altered to include the use of the word "Lieutenant", that is not the correct rank for a German Luftwaffe Officer. The rank is equivalent to the modern US Airforce Rank of Second Lietentant, but is spelt and pronounced "Leutnant".

To Emphaside this I have altered the link and spelling, so as to go to the German Army Rank listing (which is the same as the Luftwaffe listing), and corrected the spelling.

I have also made the link for Major also point to the same German Rank reference. Though the spelling in that case is the same.
