File talk:Capt.Alfred de Grazia at Dachau concentration camp, ca May 1st 1945.jpg

This is an erroneous attribution and label for the photograph, though there is a photo of Alfred de Grazia standing before a pile of corpses, he is not the individual pictured here. I believe that photo is in the Library of Congress. This is an erroneous entry.

I Solemnly Swear that the Abovestated is True in its entirety and omits nothing of Importance to the Matter at Hand

 * The photograph in question was uploaded by Commons user Commons:User:Aldegraz on 22 January 2010, with the notes:
 * Description=This picture shows me, Capt. Alfred de Grazia, in front of a pile of dead bodies at Dachau concentration camp in Bavaria Germany, two (maybe three) days after the liberation of the camp by the American army. I was then Commanding Officer of the Psychological Warfare Combat Propaganda Team attached to HQ, the Seventh Army.
 * Source=This picture of me was taken at Dachau concentration camp in Germany with my own camera by a fellow American soldier.
 * Author=This picture of me was taken with my own camera by a fellow American soldier.
 * The image carries OTRS ticket #2010010910012164. I presume that this means that the uploading editor presented prooof of his identity and authorship of the photo.
 * The image also appears in a self-published book by Alfred de Grazia, A Taste of War: Soldiering in World War II. It's available on Amazon.com, and using the "Look Inside" feature one can see the same photograph just prior to page 482 (scroll about 7/8ths down the scroll bar). The caption reads "The author at Dachau".
 * The picture also appears online on a site called kalos.com, in an essay called "The Life of Alfred de Grazia" supposedly written by Anne-Marie (Ami) de Grazia. (Just shy of 1/2 way down the page). This is the name of the woman Alfred de Grazia was married to at the time of his death, according to our article.
