1./KG40 means Erster Gruppe (First Group)/KampfGeschwader 40 (A Geschwader would be roughly equal to a USAAF Bomber Wing or a RAF Group). 1./KG40 was formed 1.11.39 at Bremen with Fw 200C bombers and flew from June 1940 to March 1943 out of Bordeaux-Merignac. The KG was using He-111s and He-177s as well, up to 45 aircraft in all.
