Re: Luftwaffe claims in MTO, 1945
There weren't any Luftwaffe fighter units in Italy after early September 1944, only NAG 11 with Bf 109s and a few Fw 190s but I don't know of any claims by them in 1945.
The Italian I. and II. Gruppi Caccia of the ANR did make some P-39 (or F-6) claims in 1945 but these were mistaken. On 22 June 1944, Serg. Petrignani of I. Gr.C. shot down the P-38 of Lt. Tolmie of 97th FS between Bologna and Ferrara.
I think you might be better off looking at early 1944, when aerial combat over Italy was much more frequent than in the period after Rome fell in June of that year.
