Rommel in Operationszone Adriatisches Küstenland [OZAK] (Febr./March 1944)?

According to partisan intel Rommel was on inspection tour in Febr./March 1944 in OZAK: first in Triest, then Opicina, Castle Spesso, then Verona.

Can anyone confirm this?

Hello

According to Rommel´s travel plan and the listing in "Generalfeldmarschall Rommel - by Hans Sakkers" - Rommel did not travel outside his area of command (Heeresgruppe B) for other inspections in this period.

He was in France, Holland, Belgium and a short visit to Führerhauptquartier in Berchtesgaden 19 to 21 march 1944.

Could the intel have been in 1943 instead??

Thank you both for the info. Kesselring wasn't mentioned in the message, but it makes sense.

Yeah, that time the partisans knew about him (even before the article); he's mentioned in another report.
