Re: Fight On! Luftwaffe field strength 9 May 1945
The surrender in Italy took effet on 2 May 1945. After evacuation and destruction, the only aircraft remaining in Luftwaffe hands in Italy were at Bolzano: one Ju 188 recon machine, a Bf 108 and three Fi 156.
A "fight to the death" by these aircraft might have occupied up to five minutes, I'd guess.
