Comment. The image has some scratches that a restoration could probably remove. Was this photo actually known to have been taken by Eva Braun, or was the photo simply in her photo album that was seized? If the former, this fact is remarkable enough that it should probably go in the caption. Spikebrennan (talk) 04:32, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Hard to say. Here's what NARA has to say about the albums:
  These albums are attributed to Eva Braun (four are claimed by her friend Herta Schneider, nee Ostermeyer) and document her life from ca. 1913 to 1944. There are many photographs of Eva, her sisters and their children, Herta Schneider and her children, as well as photographs of Eva's vacations, family members and friends. Included also are photographs taken by and of Eva Braun at Hitler's chalet Berghof (or Kehlstein), photographs of Hitler and his entourage, visitors to Berghof and the scenery around Berchtesgaden, and some studio portraits of Eva and members of her family. howcheng {chat} 08:10, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
