Turin Raids 1943

Looking for details on the operations to Turin, Italy on August 12/13th & 16/17th 1943, specifically any German claims.
No.3 (Bomber) Group HQ and Base HQ’s record that their was considerable activity over the target especially on the 16/17th attack when returning crew’s reported several aircraft shot down in the target area.
This is however not supported by Middlebrook’s BCWD or Chorley’s BCL vol 4. Can anyone help with any German claims over Turin on either of these nights? I have checked the Luftwaffe Night Fighter Combat Claims book (John Foreman etc) and Tony Woods Excellent site. What German units would have been available to intercept this raid in the area of Northern Italy.
Regards
Steve
