Gollob's 1940 claims

Greetings: Looking for some discussion on a question that has arisen before, although ( I think) not with Gollob specifically. My question concerns claims awarded to him on 9.7.40. While other pilot's seem to have been involved this day in shooting down 201 Sqn's Sunderland and 233 Sqn's Hudson ( notably Obfw. Schob, and Lt. Boehmel of 3/ZG76) Gollob appears to have received credit for both. Some author's, notably Larry Donnelly ("The other Few") don't even mention him, awarding the claims to the other two pilot's. Is this a case of rank prevailing? (Gollob was St/Kpt. of 3/ZG76). Curious if anyone has an opinion on this. Thanks. Dean
