Picked this up about 8 years ago. It's a photo of a few ME262B's, the rare two seat model. The back has a couple German stamps.
A few years back, someone told me it is a press propaganda photo.
Any other info on the stamps would be appreciated.

Hoffmann stamp might be ok ,but not the others imo.
I agree with Harry, This appears to have been dressed up a little. Note the SA marking.
That kind of blows to hear. Got it at a gunshow when I was 17. The guy was selling a lot of German stuff mostly, and said it was an original photo.
I have a feeling it might be a post war re-print someone dressed up as well. If you notice the photo looks pixel-ated a little, and it is flimsy and almost rubber feeling in texture.
Oh well, it was only I think $20 at the time. Live and learn I guess.
The image itself is still worthy of study..as not too many of these ME jet photos are around much. Thanks for sharing..its still historyRegards Larry

The photo was taken after they where captured by the Americans at Lechfeld Air Base Germany in 1945. Incase you did not already know "Vera" was in the Wings of Freedom Aviation Museum, now relocated to National Naval Aviation Museum.
