@Roman Kubanskiy: Any chance you have any free high-quality portraits of Heinrich Himmler besides those already uploaded to Wikimedia Commons? Thanks! Emiya1980 (talk) 07:33, 16 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nope, since main photographer of Nazi Germany was Heinrich Hoffman, we are waiting when his photo will be in public domain. It will be since 2028. Roman Kubanskiy (talk) 07:34, 16 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ofcourse, any change of the main article photograph will need consensus by the local editors herein, first. Kierzek (talk) 16:08, 16 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
