Fair use rationale for File:1003656-173400.jpg
File:1003656-173400.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 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 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:57, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

There is an article about Joseph Beryle a paratrooper that jumped D-day, the article states that he is belived to be the only soldier to fight with the Russians during WWII. What do I need to do to have this changed to include my DAD, whom was also a POW in the same Stalag IIIC as Mr Beryl. He also escaped and fought with the Russians and liberated the camp.

Preserving here by providing this link. My rationale was: "excessive listing of awards in the infobox -- leave the higher ones; unneed iconography in infobox; c/e lead for notability". --K.e.coffman (talk) 22:51, 22 June 2018 (UTC)

Some inconsistencies
There is something with the pictures that I would like to point out, since it appears odd to me: The POW-photograph:
 * The picture has been taken with two lightsources. This is kind of odd for circumstances in WW2 Germany. Electrical lights were considered a luxury. Rooms used to have one lightsource if at all. Two electrical lightsources in a prison camp in a room for registering POWs is remarkable.
 * His name neatly imprinted in his shirt. Germans didn't do that for their prisoners. Is that part of US-clothing?
 * The writings on his sign: The figure 1 is written in a typical angloamerican / anglosaxian way, like a capital I. The german type looks more like a 7.

The POW-registration card:
 * It is all written in english. The writing appear to be the same as on the sign in the POW-picture. It might be written by himself maybe because the german officer was too lazy to write the form by himself. In addition the profession butcher has been translated to german with a different writing. Still, it's a bit odd.

The russian medic report:
 * I'm not that fluent with kyrillic handwriting. At least his given name "Joseph" is written correctly. What stands out is the year of birth, which says 1925.

I am NOT going to diminish the story of that brave seargant. But the pictures do not fit well. Maybe someone with the given knowledge can explain these inconsistencies? 94.219.226.81 (talk) 21:26, 5 December 2019 (UTC)


 * This is all what we call WP:ORIGINALRESEARCH and there is no actionable edit to take to this page. There could be two sources of light, that could be his own shirt that already had the text, he could have written the placard himself, etc. It's all irrelevant and Wikipedia is not Snopes. A better place for this discussion is on the talk page of the image file itself, you may find some answers there. JesseRafe (talk) 17:36, 6 December 2019 (UTC)

In the military we learn to write our last names on our underwear, so it doesn't get mixed up with anyone else's. Today it's done in black marker, but it's very likely Beyrle, and perhaps a few of his friends, had it done this way. I'm surprised about the "two light sources" comment. Where does this come from?

Addition of new source.
I was reading about Joseph Beyrle in an article called “Local WWII hero Joe Beyrle's possessions part of international exhibit” by mlive that was released in 2010, and I noticed a picture of Beyrle’s medals included a few that aren’t mentioned on this page. Could we use this article as a new source on Beyrle’s military awards? I haven’t been a Wiki editor for all that long, so I wanted to make sure this was alright.
