One more groggy question

[Hans]

If an invasion of Sardinia had occurred what forces were avialable for reinforcment, ie what was in Corsica, Liguria, Tuscany and Southern France?

[Kingfish]

IMO, you wouldn't see any substantial forces being sent in. Germany had very little sea-lift capability in the Med, so that limited the reinforcements to mostly light Airborne / Mountain units that could be flown in.

As for what forces were availible, 2nd Fallschirmjager was stationed around Rome and AFAIK was at full strength. 1st FJ was in the Foggia area, but they were severly reduced following the Sicilian campaign.

[Andreas]

2nd FJ would not have been sent, because they were around Rome to take over the area if/when the Italians surrendered.

It is almost impossible to imagine any German reinforcements being sent. The Germans had their hands full trying to take over the whole country, avoiding Italian troops cutting them off from Germany by seizing the passes through the Alps, and, oh yes, prepare for a likely Allied landing on the main-land, which they believed could be executed simultaneously with another large landing, e.g. on Sardinia.
