Image talk:Scharnhorst-8.jpg
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I doubt that a sailor or employee of the U.S. Navy had taken or made this picture during the course of the person's official duties. What would he be doing in the Kiel naval base in 1939? And who'd allow him there? It seems it is rather not a work of the U.S. federal government, perhaps Nazi government, but US seems highly unlikely. Halibutt 21:29, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
You are right. The caption on the photo says it was copied from a contemporary publication. Balcer 01:17, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
Is it possible that the United States had a naval observer in Kiel at that time? In 1939 relations between the United States and Nazi Germany were strained, but not hostile.
The official site: This is a halftone image, copied from a contemporary publication. So this seems to be a copyright violation. But afaik en.wiki generaly keep good faith in US-gov publikations even if it is rediculous--WerWil 14:21, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
Agree with Balcer. A copyvio until proven otherwise. Valentinian T / C 23:23, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
