Marked as AP photo/Bert Brandt at http://news.fr.msn.com/ecologie/photo/fr2fr-vacances-2014-anniversaires-quatre-coins-du-monde?page=11 Teofilo (talk) 20:23, 24 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Marked as "©Bert Brandt/AP/Sipa" at http://bibliobs.nouvelobs.com/essais/20090604.BIB3557/d-day-le-martyre-de-la-normandie-2.html

Apparently, Bert Brandt was an "ACME photographer" and he was 28 years old on 6 June 1944 according to https://yesteryearsnews.wordpress.com/tag/bert-brandt/

According to the library of congress, "CORBIS does not control the copying of ACME images housed in the Library of Congress. However, any copyright held by ACME that is still current would now be owned by CORBIS" : http://www.loc.gov/rr/print/res/220_acme.html

So in my view, Wikimedia Commons principle of precaution should apply, and therefore the picture should be deleted. (Unless a convincing rationale for why that picture is in the public domain is provided by the uploader or anybody else).
