Yes it shows the "515 neu". Whatever this was. Years of History is selling copies of BAMA photos.

[der bunkermann]

Is that legal?

[AvB]

I don't think so.

Why not, If he bought them and he sells them the copyrights are with BAMA.
If he bought hem he should not try to make a profit, but to sell them for the price I
bought them for.
On the other hand there are a lot of the propaganda photo's on the market that did
not came from archives but were printed in the war to be used by newspapers,
leaflets, folders, books etc.. but the originals are now in archives.

You can sell archive photos as objects, but this shop sells modern copies of photos made by PK-photographers, of which the copyrights are with BAMA.
This seller has a shop on eBay, their whole purpose is making profit.

Thats another story Arthur.
I sold some of my pictures I bought many years ago from archives last year.
But these were the ones I bought, all in all these are still copies of the one in the original archive.
Sold them for the same price i bought them for.
