::To clearify - the two Wehrmacht annual books are in German, but were actually sold in Sweden during the beginning of the war. However I fail to see how any BRD copyright can exist. The photograpers didn't own the pictures, that did the armed forces ("die Wehrmacht" in German). So any German copyright must in such case belong to this no longer existing military force. In any case the Wehrmacht "died" 7.May 1945. Perhaps shall I wait uploading any photo until 7.May 2015, 70 years after the death of "Wehrmacht" ?
