Re: Breach of copyright! - photographs
Enemy Property Act which is decisive, says that anything that was created under German copyright laws in a specified period, is not protected anymore. That said any German WWII photo is copyrigt free, and in the name of the law I can copy any German photo from any of your books, but I cannot copy the whole set of photos or the book itself.
That said, it is clear that BAMA claims copyright named another name, thus disallowing use of copyright free photos, and more making use of them by individuals impossible.
I do not mention the fact, that I have heard they destroyed original negatives.
