Again the spelling is wrong: Tagliamento.
The Italian name of Tolmein is Tolmino, certainly they didn't use the German name.

Sorry for that!

I was just retyping from German document and there is no (visible) difference between second a and last o.

This is new for me. As shown in that map, and in other maps I've seen, Lubiana/Ljubljana/Laibach was in the OZAK. I'm quite confused. :?
I have a copy of HSSPF OZAK's scheme and there is no Laibach Provinz there.

Rösener's Führungsstab für Bandenbekämpfung was stationed in Laibach (Ljubljana - my town :wink: ) and several others German Police/SD offices under Rösener.

I'm not an expert of German military organization, but I think you are talking about a military administration, while the OZAK, under the govern of Friedrich Rainer, was a civil administration. I've searched info in internet, and everywhere Laibach is listed as in the OZAK.
There were 2 HSSPF in the same Operationszone: Globocnik in the provinces of Trieste, Gorizia, Pola and Fiume, and Rösener in Laibach, but the civil administration was the same in all the provinces and was under Rainer, Gauleiter of Kärnten and Obersten Kommissar of the OZAK.
In the pre-WW2 Italian provinces there were also Italian prefects of the RSI, while in Laibach the sovereignity of the RSI was only nominal.

Yes, I was refering to military organization of that area - under HSSPF OZAK there was no Laibach; but it was under (Political) Commisar also resonsable for OZAK (Rainer).

PS Kocjo, do you know what is the meaning of those borders within the OZAK? It looks like it was divided into 3 "provinces": Udine + Gorizia, Trieste + Pola + pre-1941 Fiume, Lubiana + annexed in 1941 Fiume.[/quote]

The borders inside the OZAK separate the territories under the responsibilities of different Militaer-Kommandanturen: 1001 for the Trieste, Pola and Fiume provinces, 1002 for the Udine and Gorizia provinces, Laibach had a structure on its own (as already discussed below).
I am preparing a book on the military structure and operations in the OZAK which will come out in the course of the year where this is further discussed (in Italian only unfortunately).

PS: the map is taken from my website (it is an original map with the addition of names): http://www.panzer-ozak.it
If you take things from other people's website you should at least give credit.

Don't know that. :cry: :x

So far I read every book on OZAK or related to OZAK and there was nothing about this.

What about the rest of the world? We non-Italians can't read your great books (I "recognize" some words - that's it). :oops: :x :wink: :lol:

I'm sorry, I've forgotten it, also because I had already written about your site and book in another post in this thread.

Hi Kocjo
in my message above the first paragraph is actually a quote from somebody else's message further up (I got messed up with the sistem for the quotation), not my question; in fact the second sentence is the explanation of the borders in the map. I hope it is clear now.

Sorry but for the moment the book is only foreseen in Italian.
