I sometimes wonder if there is some misinformation at play when it comes to Salwender.

Remember how, back in the time when the Toliver and Constable books were the authoritative source on Luftwaffe aces, it was believed that Herbert Rollwage was the top Viermot-killer with 44 Viermots claimed destroyed? ...Then Jochen Prien's work proved that he only claimed 14 Viermots (which, it has to be said, would be a respectable tally nonetheless) because obviously somebody had read 14 with a Germanic long-stroke "1" as being 44 and this fact in turn reduced his official tally from 102 down to 71 (makes you wonder who had authorised the tally of 102 in the first place....)

I know I am only speculating here but I do wonder if some similar kind of error was made somewhere concerning Salwender and his tally...
