Re: Fw 190 in colour
Hi George,
"I think most of the WWII photos are copyright free."
No so easy...The ECPA-D statute is not comparable with that of Bundesarchiv-Bildarchiv in Koblenz. The original PK-negatives preserved in the old fort of Ivry-sur-Seine in France were taken to the germans by french troops during the winter 1944-45. This make the difference. As for all war prizes belonging to the french Defence archive the copyright of these photographs is - according to the french law - inalienable. A "specialised" Gendarmerie team is currently working to make apply this law - some authors learned it with their costs.
All the best, George, and please accept my apologizes for my poor home-made english !
