Editing Franc Rozman (section)

==World War II==
For a while, Rozman lived with an activist of the [[Liberation Front of the Slovenian People]]. In early December 1941, he visited his younger brother, Martin, after which he joined the [[Slovene partisans|Slovene partisan resistance]]. Soon he became a military instructor with the High Command of the Slovene partisan forces. He was given the task of setting up the Styrian Battalion (''Štajerski bataljon''), which would consist of the partisan troops, the Revirje and the Savinja companies (''Revirske in Savinjske čete''), which were active in [[Lower Styria|Styria]] in the autumn of 1941. He participated in the attack on [[Šoštanj]] and later in the [[Battle of Čreta]]. The Germans repeatedly tried to liquidate Rozman, setting many ambushes.{{citation needed|date=March 2016}}

In the April 1942 Rozman became the commander of a Slovene partisan brigade,<ref name="Klanjscek"/> established on 5 April 1942 at Kremenik in [[Lower Carniola]], and numbering more than 300 fighters. Measured by composition, organization, training, and fighting power, this was the most powerful Slovene partisan unit at that time. On 13 July 1943, he became a commander of the High Command of the Slovene partisan army<ref name="Klanjscek"/> with the rank of [[lieutenant general]] (''generallajtnant''), which he held up to his death.{{citation needed|date=March 2016}}

Rozman died on 7 November 1944, aged 33, in [[White Carniola]] as a consequence of a serious wound received while testing newly arrived [[PIAT]] weapons sent to the partisans by their British [[Allies of World War II|Allies]]. There were some rumors that he was killed by sabotage by the [[Chetniks|Chetnik]] military authorities or at the behest of Partisan commander [[Arso Jovanović]],<ref name="Cascenje">[http://www.demokracija.eu/arhiv/arhivostalo/5680-aenje-vojnega-zloinca "Čaščenje vojnega zločinca"] {{webarchive|url=https://archive.today/20130213052616/http://www.demokracija.eu/arhiv/arhivostalo/5680-aenje-vojnega-zloinca |date=2013-02-13 }}, Demokracija.eu, 22 March 2011. {{in lang|sl}}</ref> but they have never been proven.
