No too sure as to what you are asking. German pilots were only credited with kills as opposed to damaged or probables. They did have camera guns but to be credited with a kill, the pilot had to see it crash or pilot bale out, get witnesses in the air and ground, visit the crash site, interview survivors and it then went up the chain of command for them to be officially credited with the kill.

There are lists of kills and B-17s losses but it depends what you are asking as it is quite a big list/ask!
