Under Wiki and free-pages: when it says Sonderkommando Elbe (Me 262A). No that should read Bf 109G units, some schools and the rest made up of veteran units. JG 7 with 262's were to engage the US fighter protection but they were ignored, and JG 7 did not provide any air protection for the almost un-armed Bf 109 a/c, instead going after US heavy bombers. The nose mounted 20 and 30mm cannons were removed but the cowling mg 131's were left so the pilot could hit the tail and provide himself with an aiming point in which to sheer off the tail surfaces, so even the term Ramm is not quite correct.
I'll correct more soon
