Non-free / fair use media rationale for East Prussian Offensive
Description	Photograph of 4th Army troops
Source	Reproduction of German WWII photograph, sourced from gallery where it was presented without copyright information. Copyright (if any) presumably held by the photographer, but claimed as fair use regardless.
Article	East Prussian Offensive
Portion used	Low-res reproduction of photograph.
Low resolution?	Yes
Purpose of use	The image illustrates positions held by the German forces at the start of the offensive, thereby adding significantly to the article's context.
Replaceable?	There is no suitable free equivalent.
Other information	The use of the photograph, which is at very low and undetailed resolution, will not affect the value of the original work, or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to distribute the original. The picture being is presumably from a German government source and may therefore be out of copyright.
