::::Had a look at the link You provided. This is completely different. It is not a question of reprint, nore are there any specific relation to the BRD-republic of Bavaria. That the US would have the copyright, when Berlin was taken by the Russians (and later splitted between France, the UK, US and USSR) stands to little reason. And it is not political "only" military stuff. No offensive photos (certain texts to some of the phothos, like calling the British for "Tommies" exists though, but is not was I had in mind of uploading) The photos are pictures of German soldiers and officers, often in combat situations.Of very little interest. But atleast the "Hitler& von Brauchitsch looking down on maps" -picture is of great interest, I think. [[User:Boeing720|Boeing720]] ([[User talk:Boeing720|talk]]) 23:56, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

::''Prosfilaes'' "In Germany, that applies even if the photographer is anonymous" - does it? This would seem to make Germany a special exception to standard EU law on copyright, unless "anonymous" is different to "unknown". I think I'm missing something in the rationale here, and as I have personally uploaded quite a few thousand WWII period photographs, could you point to the right bit of Commons policy or guidelines? Thanks --[[User:Fæ|Fæ]] ([[User talk:Fæ|talk]]) 08:22, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

::''Prosfilaes'' "In Germany, that applies even if the photographer is anonymous" - does it? The template you point to, makes it clear that any image or text would no longer be copyright "70 years after the work was made available to the public and the author never disclosed their identity", rather than after the anonymous person's death. I think I'm missing something in the rationale here, and as I have personally uploaded quite a few thousand WWII period photographs, could you point to the right bit of Commons policy or guidelines, or confirm that I am misreading what you intended to say?
