v60pih,

The photo is well known, and it was called a fake / photomontage already decades ago. (?)
Likewise, this photo was published in some illustrated books about the Second World War.

Perhaps, an expert on historical photos here on the forum can shed some light on this (unresolved) issue, that would be desirable.
