Hello

Another one, Rommel visiting the Westwall 1939 - or that is the caption of the picture from Bundesarchive?

I think that is wrong, this picture is typical for Rommels inspections in 1944 and that bunker is for sure a Regelbau - or what do you think?

Hello

There has not been much response since the topic was moved to this section???

A new picture from E-Bay.

Rommel visiting the 21. Pz. Div. in Normandy on the 18th, of may 1944.

Is that Feuchtinger in the picture at Rommel´s left side, and who is the other officer??

Hello

I have a couple more pictures from E-Bay.de auctions this week.
Maybe these two are "related" as both (I think) Ruge and Meise are in both pictures?
It could be from 16 - 19 of january 1944 when they inspected Seine Mündung area.
Maybe we can ID some more of the officers?

Regards
Kurt

I Found some pictures (stills from a German propaganda movie) which shows Rommel visit Jagdgeschwader Schlageter and Oblt. Josef Priller at the Airport at Bondues between St. Omer and Lille at Wednesday the 5th of january 1944.

In Hans Sakkers book about Rommel on pages 51 - 52 - 53 we actually can see pictures showing this movie being made.
