The History Channel has a two-part series titled "DOGFIGHTS" which is sub-titled "KAMIKAZE". I'm not sure if it is Part 1 or Part 2 which covers the ramming of Heavy Bombers by the Luftwaffe on April 7, 1945. (I am almost sure that it was Part 2). The animated depiction of the rammings are excellent and horrible. The 389th BG was leading the 2nd Air Division on April 7 1945 and its Lead Plane and Deputy Lead Liberators were taken out by an Me-109 piloted by a 19-year old Corporal. The program is being repeated as follows:
PART 1: FRIDAY JULY 20, 1:00 PM EDT
FRIDAY JULY 20, 7:00 PM EDT

PART 2: FRIDAY JULY 20, 8:00 PM EDT
SATUR. JULY 21, 12:00 AM EDT
