Hello

What is the source of this picture, please

And - no I have no answer for location - yet!

But, a wild guess is - somewhere in Normandy, after D-Day - maybe

Looking at the trees without leaves, it looks rather like late fall or winter.

Possibly during the inspection of 21. Panzer-Division?

Hello

I have come to that also - but - if fall 1944 after D-Day - Rommel were wounded, away from Normandy and after october he was quite indisposed

So I think it is spring (early spring 1944) - what do you guys think?

This is Walter von Bolterstern, als Kommandeur der 179. Reserve-Panzer-División (early spring 1944).

On the left of Rommel the Gen.d.Inf Reinhardt and on the right next to Rommel and Lang the Gen.Maj.Wahle. The officer with helmet
and binoculars must be the Batterie kommandant, see also the photo below from the same visit from the book Generalfeldmarschall Rommel.
