Waffen-SS Member Karl-Friedrich Höcker was obviously not a Member of the US Army, therefore the license tag is wrong. PaterMcFly (talk) 14:17, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
- the deletion-nomination is an outrage. the deletion reason given is: "Waffen-SS Member Karl-Friedrich Höcker was obviously not a Member of the US Army, therefore the license tag is wrong." no one asserts that the photographer worked for the u.s. army. the author tag clearly says "US Govt office scans of WWII German images by staff of SS Karl-Friedrich Höcker" --repeat: US Govt *SCANS OF*. they are in the collection of the u.s. holocaust memorial museum. the digital versions are US GOVT now: public domain. the film-printed originals were by a government employee of a now-defunct regime (the nazi govt) which has no copyright-assertion capability. you or other users are welcome to adjust the category to one more fitting if you feel an extreme need to do so.

I suggest to centralize the discussion at Commons:Deletion requests/File:USHMM 34755 Soletal Solahutte img61 mengele hoess.png. --Túrelio (talk) 13:36, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
The historical value of this photograph - viewable here for all visitors to see - is of far more importance and value than it's removal upon the grounds, albeit obviously correct, that Karl Hocker was not a member of the US Army. Surely a simply tagging correction can be made and the photograph left in place.
