Fair use rationale for Image:Gegenstrom.jpg

Image:Gegenstrom.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Brandler and the Socialist Unity Party

Brandler didn't manage to return to Germany until 1949 as the Allied authorities refused him permission to enter Germany in the immediate post-war period. When he did return, he returned to West Germany, not East Germany. On his return he linked with a number of former members of the KPO to found the Gruppe Arbeiterpolitik. This can be confirmed by checking the article on Heinrich Brandler in the German Wikipedia

I think the original writer may have mixed up Brandler and Jacob Walcher, the former leader of both the KPO and the SAP, who did return to East Germany in 1946, joined the Socialist Unity Party, from which he was later expelled and then readmitted. This can be confirmed by checking the article in the German Wikipedia on Jacob Walcher. - Mia-etol (talk) 14:46, 20 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
