I believe this photo was taken by Walter Frentz, Leni Refenstahls own photographer.
It now recently came into the copright ownsership of Time Warner Inc.
I believe it still can be dug up in the www.timepix.com website.

Another interesting fact about this image, in the 1980s a German journalist was offered "under the counter" a collection of 2500 color slides taken by Walter Frentz.
The slides had been hidden in a forest in germany just before the end of the war and this is what was offered to the journalist.
I belive the journalist did in fact purcahse them for a sum of 25 thousand marks.
After the slides came into his posesion, including the above image, the Imperial War Museum in England found out and tried to force him to sell them as a national trust.
Eventually in the mid 1980s they came to England, from their they have stayed in the imperial archives.
Some of these were again sold to Time Warner in the ealry 90s, I dont know the details unfortunitly of that transaction.

Cheers.
