Re: Bundesarchiv Material in Public Domain

Hi fellows!
Just for information, I had to pay for the use of a photograph I will publish on a forthcoming book about RAF flyers. I used a Junkers Ju 188 A-2 photograph that appeared on several well known books. They charged me 34,10 Euros for the rights of reproduction for one photo! It seems that even the rights of former nazi magazine DER ADLER belongs to Bundesarchiv...There are a lot of controversy about the 50 years law on photographs taken during WW2.
Maybe someone more well placed, like famous Historians such as Gross, Cornwell, Mombeek, Middlebrook, Vasco could answer for us "sprog" researchers and "yet to be" writers...
Cheers for ALL
