the author is the photographic agency of Heinrich Hoffmann [1]however legally this image is public domain in the US as a seized property, you do know these servers are hosted in Florida USA, and Jimmy Wales says we abide by the laws of that state? Madmax32 23:13, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Could be public domain in the US, but if it is indeed a photograph by Heinrich Hoffman, it's still copyrighted in Germany until January 1st 2028. --88.134.44.255 01:00, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Even if that were true, the physical location of a server determines what laws it is subject to (in this case Florida USA), and this image is illegal in your country anyway, unless it is censored to remove the nazi symbols Madmax32 01:51, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
According to Commons:Licensing "It is important to remember when uploading a material from a country outside the United States that the copyright laws of both that country and of the United States apply to the upload."
And it is not illegal to use images containing the Swastika in historical context (museums, movies about that era, encyclopedias). --88.134.44.255 03:05, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Delete Hoffmann photos are copyrighted in Germany and many other countries, even if they may have special status in the U.S. They are not U.S. works. Lupo 07:45, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
