Re: Digital photo collections
Hi, Ed
To what extent they are legitimate - who knows.
They certainly offer the so-called Döbrich collection, the supposed photo albums of the late Hans Döbrich of JG 5.
If the person behind the company owns the original albums, or has made an arrangement with the owner, I suppose it to be ok?
This ultimately brings us straight back into the ´Who has copyright on the material from the nazi era in Germany now´, as a lot of the photographs were taken by PropagandaKompanie photographers of units/companies that do no longer exist - and the photographer is deceased.
There have been numerous discussions on this here and elsewhere, I have yet to see a conclusion from any official instance in Germany - press release or whatever. The Bundesarchiv themselves has released a lot of photographs on the internet, but I haven´t had the time to read any information surrounding that.
Regards,
Andreas B
