SEEMS WWII GERMAN IMAGES REALLY ARE *NOT* IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN; HENCE CANNOT BE USED W/O LICENSURE BY THE LEGITIMATE OWNERS - LET ALONE MAY COLLECTORS CLAIM USAGE RIGHTS OR LEGALLY ADD THEIR 'COPYRIGHT' IMPRINT.
OF COURSE IN THIS COUNTRY ALL IMAGES YOU HAVE PERSONALLY TAKEN & WANT TO LEGALLY PROTECT AGAINST REPRODUCTION BY OTHERS REQUIRE FORMAL SUBMISSION TO THE US COPYRIGHT OFFICE IN WASHINGTON, DC. CAN BE A LONG AND EXPENSIVE PROCESS - ESP. IF YOU'VE GOT A LOT OF THEM !
NOTE I SAID 'SEEMS' - I AIN'T NO STINKIN' LAWYER AND WIKI ISN'T ALWAYS ACCURATE; BUT STILL, REASON FOR CAUTION....
