"Air War Italy" P.214 has this "Ju 188, KG 40 (?), 0251, F8+ED, Demolished"
From No 1, FIU report 25.05.45
That was the code as reported but I have serious doubts that they got it right. For example, in later research I found other FIU reports on file in draft and final versions and typos had crept in. Some errors could be put down to misheard dictation (hearing "aitch" instead of "eight" for example), some to misreading hand writing, some to the damaged state of the aircraft in question.
