c & p from Talk:Group (military units), as the article is also wrong about this:
- The table shows no equivalent to the British wing, but should be Geschwader. Also, squadron is not a Gruppe (battalion size, as you see when you follow the link to de), but Staffel - equivalent of the army's company. The table's Staffel is no flight, but a special formation (usually platoon sized) of an army company/ battery. If you check the link in the article, you see there's no equivalent in German Wikipedia, but the English equivalent of German air force Staffel in the chart below is squadron.
- This may ground on many false friends in military English & German. A comparison to hierarchy in German army (btw Heer, Armee rather is armed forces) may help:
