Unless he published a formal demonstration of Gödel's 'error', Wittengenstein's belief is of mere biographical interest. History is littered with eminent people who had all sorts of erroneous beliefs about theories and ideas that we now see as having withstood the test of time.
It's a notable portion of 'Remarks on the Foundations of Mathematics'.
Wittgenstein never held the view that Gödel's theorem was wrong or erroneous, though. He "only" thought that the philosophical interpretations and the view of the theorem as astounding and incredibly deep were misleading.
