Thanks very much for that Alain.
The extra details you provided for Uffz Wälter Heinrich will prove useful.
You might be interested to know that according to Eddie Musgrave's combat report for this mission that he made no claim for the Fw-190. He fired a short burst using two rings of deflection as he tried to turn away from his attackers and escape into cloud.
