My information is based on yearly reports submitted by Commander of Swiss Air Force. This P-47 is described as single confirmed victory achieved by 20 mm Flab battery during the war cause crash landing of this aircraft was observed (exact place is given).

Thanks for link to the newspaper archive. It's very useful.

EDIT
I found Juornal de Geneve on 5th Feb 1945 which writes: "One American fighter shot down during air raid on Chiasso at 10.30 morning".
