That's not correct. ANR was the only FIGHTER unit during that last year (more specifically from Sep 44 to May 45) with the departure of Stab JG.77 to Germany. But the Luftwaffe kept present in the italian theather until the final surrender with night-attack and reconnaissance units. In the last months even a Arado Ar 234 unit (Sonderkommando Sommer) operated there, from Villafranca.
