Hello,

The point being that many German WWII fotos are from private citizens, which the copyright protects, until 70 years after there death.. and rightfully so. The current German goverment owns the rights to WWII German political fotos, also rightfully so.

The problem with western world is that they think they own everything, simply not so.

I'm guilty too, be using 'right click - save'

But on the otherhand fotos like this must be made to exist & teach the good and the bad. Classic catch 22.

Anyways best bet is to get authors permission, or families if author is deceased. I have done this.

Kind regards
