How do I prove $zDelta(z+1) = Delta(z)$, where $Gamma(z)=1/Delta(z)$?

I'm asked to prove that $zDelta(z+1)=Delta(z)$, where $Delta(z)equiv ze^{gamma z}prodlimits_{m=1}^infty(1+z/m)e^{-z/m}$ and $gamma =lim_{ntoinfty} 1+ 1/2 + 1/3 + ... + 1/n-log n$, but this far I have not succeeded.



My idea was to look at finite n both in $gamma$ and in the product. First I assumed the theorem to be true, thus getting $Delta(z+1)=Delta(z)/z$. I divided both sides by $e^{gamma z}$ and then took the logarithm, getting
$$-log n + log (z+1)+left[sum_{m=1}^nlog(1+cfrac{z+1}{m})+ (-z/m)right] =log z + left(sum_{m=1}^nlog (1+z/m)+(-z/m)right)$$
Here $1+1/2+...+n$ (from $gamma$) cancelled against $-1/m$ in the sum on the LHS. This is how I got the above equation.
I then substracted the RHS from the LHS, getting LHS - RHS $= 0$



Obviously, the "$-z/m$" terms cancel and upon taking the e-power, I got
$$(z+1)(1/z)(1/n)left[prod_{m=1}^n(k+z+1)/k cdot k/(k+z)right]=0$$
This can be simplified a bit, but I don't see why this equality holds, not even in $ntoinfty$. I have asked a friend of mine and we both think all the steps in between are correct, thus perhaps I should try a completely different approach?
I can elaborate on my steps, but I thought it better to keep it concise.

          Consider the telescoping sum
          $$sum_{m=1}^n left(logleft(1+frac{z}{m+1}right)-logleft(1+frac{z}{m}right)right) = logleft(1+frac{z}{n+1}right) - log(1+z)$$
          Then
          $$- log(1+z) =
          sum_{m=1}^infty left(logleft(1+frac{z}{m+1}right)-logleft(1+frac{z}{m}right)right) =
          sum_{m=1}^infty left(logleft(frac{z+m+1}{z+m}right)-logleft(frac{m+1}{m}right)right) =
          sum_{m=1}^infty left(logleft(frac{z+m+1}{z+m}right)-frac{1}{m}+frac{1}{m}-logleft(frac{m+1}{m}right)right)
          =
          sum_{m=1}^infty left(logleft(frac{1+(z+1)/m}{1+z/m}right)-frac{1}{m}right)+gamma$$

          Apply exponential to get
          $$frac{1}{1+z} = e^gamma prod_{m=1}^inftyfrac{1+(z+1)/m}{1+z/m}e^{-1/m}=frac{e^{gamma(z+1)}}{e^{gamma z}}prod_{m=1}^infty frac{(1+(z+1)/m)e^{-(z+1)/m}}{(1+z/m)e^{-z/m}}$$
          Then
          $$z e^{gamma z} prod_{m=1}^infty (1+z/m)e^{-z/m} = z(z+1) e^{gamma(z+1)}prod_{m=1}^infty (1+(z+1)/m)e^{-(z+1)/m}$$
