(Reusing this file)
Although this image would not ordinarily enter the public domain until 70 years after Hoffmann's death in Germany (January 1, 2028) the Library of Congress assures that there are "[n]o known restrictions on publication." Property seized by the U.S. government and ruled to be public domain in Price vs. United States (Docket 93-2564, United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit, 20 November 1995). See also

as it sees fit; indeed, it has done so."

It states on [2] that

  • "Scholars fearful that a major source of visual material in the public domain was suddenly liable for ruinous permission fees can now breathe a sigh of relief. But one is well-served to look carefully at both Judge Hughes's initial judgment in favor of Price as well as Judge Jolly's judgment of dismissal, as both contain many illuminating details. It now seems clear that all of Heinrich Hoffmann's photographs at National Archives may be considered as being in the public domain, which means they may be used in scholarly and popular books, articles, films and television programmes without payment of permission fees to German heirs or to Billy Price"

Note that this does not apply to Heinrich Hoffmann items not in the US National Archives. The catalog record must say the item is 'Use Restrictions: unrestricted'; always list the source of the image.
