An image of Maltzahn

@K.e.coffman: May you please reinsert File:Günther von Maltzahn.jpg and take it to FFD please? This image may have some potential use. The current free image barely shows Maltzahn's face, and locating him isn't easy. --George Ho (talk) 03:45, 16 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@George Ho: Do you feel strongly about the image? I believe that the current (free) image is sufficient. No need for the wiki pages to look like Luftwaffe propaganda spreads, compare with Der Adler, a wartime propaganda magazine of the Luftwaffe: link. However, if you disagree, I'd be happy to list it. K.e.coffman (talk) 16:52, 17 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes because the image, even when it may produce a reaction, helps adequately identify this notable person, especially in a uniform. And no, the image doesn't make the whole article propagandistic, i.e. whitewashed, K.e.coffman. I disagree with the replacement. --George Ho (talk) 17:18, 17 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I reinserted the image. You may take it to FFD if you please. --George Ho (talk) 18:05, 20 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
