No worries, David. Unfortunately I don't have a loss for the 27th although Fw 190s were operating against Anzio-Nettuno at the relevant time.

Nick/Alessandro,

Many thanks gentlemen for your quick responses, which have already been a great help.

Nick, do you know which Luftwaffe units were operating in the Anzio theatre, or perhaps you can suggest some sources. I know that JG 27 were in Southern Italy, as well as probably JG 77.

Thank you again,

David

Actually JG 27 wasn't in Southern Italy then, and hadn't been for some time. I think the nearest piece of it was in Greece. What they had in the south at the end of January 1944 was:

I. and II./SG 4 (Fw 190)
1. and 2./NAG 11 (Bf 109)
I./JG 4
II./JG 51
Stab and III./JG 53
II./JG 77

Nick,

Brilliant stuff, thank you. I'll start digging!
