But reading the statement of the witness (which I meant to take with me but forgot) the incident was definetly just outside of Livarot. The old road exiting Livarot is straight, before quite a sharp bend which is what I believe was referred to in the witnesses statement, I didn't have time to take photos yesterday, I'll try when I'm next there in June.
I know that doesn't tie up with ATB#8

It would make sense to give a different account of the incident if what Heins says is accurate.
Rommel was a Folk Hero in Germany so his wounds would have been seen to be self inflicted as the result of poor judgement.
Of course this is just supposition,but what had Heins to gain from making the story up.
