Victory count of Detlev Lüth in Prien's book

Hello,

In the book "Jagdfliegerverbände Teil 7", it is shown that this ace, then an Ofw with 4./JG 1, claimed three RAF bombers over the North Sea as his kills 27 to 29.

His 26 former kills are listed in the series in the BoB and Barbarossa books.

In 1943, this ace claimed 8 kills, and they are listed in the book "Jagdfliegerverbände Teil 10/II", but they are numered 29 to 36. The first kill of the year on 4 February 1943 is again numbered 29.

Is it a typo, or was one of the former claims discounted by recent research ?

Thanks in advance

Laurent
