There were no such aircraft as a B-21 in WWII. There were B-17's (the Flying Fortress), B-24's (the Liberator), B-25's (the Mitchell Marauder) & finally the B-29 (the Superfortress). Don't know about your Luftwaffe unit.

No one as there is no such aircraft to ever see combat to my knowledge. B-17's, 25's, 24's and the 29 (which dropped the A-Bomb)!

The North American XB-21 which competed with the B 18, which finally won the contract in the 1930's for 177 aircraft! I believe very few XB-21's were made and I doubt if they ever saw combat. At the beginning of WW II we were using mainly B-17's!

The aircraft did exist though, but not as the B-21!

A semi-kamikaze unit was the Rammkommando Elbe, created under the directions of Hajo Hermann, those actually attacked by raming the bombers in 1945 , even some pilots survived to tell the history, most of them did not!

FW-190, was used becausethe wings structure was by far more strong.

Those rammed or colided with Fw-190....did not survive.

Here are some pics of the XB-21 which was not selected as it was twice the cost of the B-18
