"Insgesamt mindestens 31 Luftsiege, davon 14 nachts."
According to this ancient but still useful reference:
Obermaier, Ernst.
Die Ritterkreuzträger der Luftwaffe: Jagdflieger 1939-1945. Mainz: Verlag Dieter Hoffmann, 1966. Hb (oversize). Dj. 256p. Dual German-English text. Illus. Index. Page 102.
Other sources give 34 for his total, of which 14 at night.
So a good "Abschüße-by-Abschüße" audit is definitely needed for Bretschneider.
