  5. ↑ NOTE: The HVP had extensive film, motion picture, and television capabilities, but those capabilities at that location, and the facility, was abandoned prior to the end of World War II. As a result, the author of this photograph, which is a work of Nazi Germany, has not been determined. Moreover, the U.S. acquisition of documents (including photograph negatives) as spoils of war does not change the identity of the author.
