Interesting link, Kai.

The 'singling out the 100th' story - which is firmly believed by some veterans and at the time, by the 100th themselves - was actually due to either the 100th occupying the most exposed position in a Group formation, or to poor formation discipline. Luftwaffe pilots have confirmed that they really didn't have time to fly around looking for aircraft with the 'Square D' marking to attack....

There's also discussion there about 'Stukas attacking B-17 formations'. I've seen this mentioned in other 8th AF memoirs.

I wonder if it really happened ?
