[edit] Summary

The cover of Heinrich Hoffmann's 1934 book of photography Jugend um Hitler, containing images of Adolf Hitler and German children. Baldur von Schirach is at right behind Hitler. Translated, Jugend um Hitler means Youth around Hitler.

[edit] Licensing

This image is of a book cover, and the copyright for it is most likely owned either by the artist who created the cover or the publisher of the book. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of book covers

to illustrate an article discussing the book in question
on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Other use of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, might be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.

To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as described on Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline, as well as the source of the work and copyright information. Please include in your fair use rationale details of the particular edition (publisher, market & year of publication) of the edition you have used, and also acknowledge any cover artist if such artist is acknowledged in that edition's frontmatter. If the book cover is in the public domain (see Wikipedia:Public domain), then use the appropriate public domain tag rather than this one.

Copyright to the photograph on the cover belongs to the estate of Hoffman (will be public domain in 2028). Copyright to the cover design presumably rests with the publisher.

[edit] Rationale of fair use

The image Image:Jugend um hitler.jpg is being linked here; though the picture is originally copyright, I (Jkelly) feel it is covered by fair use because:

No free or public domain images could possibly be located for this book.
The image is of lower resolution than the original cover. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, and could not be used as artwork on illegal copies of this book.
The image does not limit the copyright owners' rights to distribute the book in any way.
For an article about this book, this book's author, or the uses to which the book has been put, the cover artwork is arguably one of the most important images that could be included. This is the artwork, intended by the publisher for wide distribution. As such, it has future historical significance, and is a more appropriate choice than any other image available.
This image is used on various websites, so its use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible or visible than it already is. The cover is being used for informational purposes only, and its use is not believed to detract from the original book in any way.
