That's not quite true. The Rammjeager were a unit of specially armored FW-190s, who had orders to ram an American bomber if they couldn't shoot one down. One of their pilots reported that he never heard of one of them actually trying it.
I know of only one report of a German fighter pilot intentionally ramming a B-17, though there are several instances of it happening apparently accidentally.
