Northern Italy was heavily guarded by Flak after the Allied landing in Sicily because from the airports in the South departed continually airplanes to bomb South Germany and the streets of supply to Italy ....... I have an exact situation of the Flak in Italy at the end March 1945, there were 2194 light guns (20 - 37 mm) and 1012 heavy..
