Individual elements of the unit were formed in 1942/1943. I./JG 4 was assigned in early 1943 as defensive protection of the Mizil and Ploiești oil complexes in Romania. It took part in air operations against the Allied Operation Tidal Wave on 1 August 1943. The unit took part in actions in the Balkans and Italy. JG 4 was then deployed in the German defensive campaign in Italy during the first half of 1944, prior to being shifted to France for the Normandy invasion. Over the Lake Bracciano area on 7 May 1944, I./JG 4 encountered Spitfires of No. 72 Squadron RAF, who claimed nine Bf 109's shot down; I Gruppe lost 4 killed and 2 wounded in the action.[1] During their Italian campaign, I./JG 4 lost 40 men killed or missing, 26 wounded, and 7 taken prisoner.[2] JG 4 was withdrawn after heavy losses back to Germany in September 1944. During Operation Bodenplatte on 1 January 1945, JG 4, along with all other units taking part, took heavy losses. With 75 JG 4 aircraft tasked with various targets, including an attack on Le Culot airfield, I, II and IV groups were hit by heavy anti-aircraft fire and the massed formation became scattered and therefore unable to coordinate an effective attack, with only 12 or so aircraft locating or attacking any intended objective. Overall, some 26 fighters were lost and 6 damaged; with nearly half the participating aircraft lost, JG 4 suffered the highest percentage losses of all the units taking part in the operation.[3] The unit was disbanded in March 1945.
