Another Fake Archive Photo?

[stephen grund]

I've seen the Russian archive fakes,is this another type of fake?

[stephen grund]

Nobody knows what this is?

This photo must not be a known fake. When one does come up on this forum people who collect photos usually know right away!!!!!!! Maybe it has a chance!!!

The German text:

" deutsche Pak (3,7) geht in Stellung, im Hintergrund das brennende Rotterdam, Mai 1940"

Thanks for the text but what do you think about this photo,the markings?Does it look like the real thing?

I think the contrast looks wrong, it looks like a copy of a photograph to me. I don't like the stamps or the way it is cut either. I'd say it could well be a copy photograph.

Photographs with ""archiv a.w.Krüger"" stamps have been showing up on ebay in the last few days.
