Keitel and his visit in Slovakia 1942

[Bruce Dennis]

According to “The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich”, by William L Shirer, at a conference on April 29 and 30 1942, Keitel had already secured two Slovak divisions for use on the Russian offensive. This is not an exact answer to your question, but at least it narrows down the time a little.

Hope this helps,

Bruce

Kari,

Keitel was in Hungary between 20-23 January, 1942 (for the same reason). It is not sure, that maybe on the route back, he visited Slovakia also.
