Is there any new information about the photo's authenticity? I am considering notifying the textbook's publisher about this controversy, but I'd like to have my facts straight first.

It's probably not even such a bad thing that it does ... it is a very cool, er, I mean striking image after all ...

Once a photo is logged in the collective psyche as signifying 'Blitz' (or 'trenches') it's very hard to shift.

Well, if it is actually a German propaganda fake, then odds-on it originally appeared in <em>Der Adler</em> or somewhere like that :) CK:

Ah well. I wonder how far back the commercial use of the photo can be traced? I was at the IWM Photographic Archive in July, but I never thought to ask about this. Ah well.
