  • Support as nominator --Pstanton 07:37, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
  • Support a bit small but good EV Muhammad(talk) 07:50, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Good encyclopedic value. A302b (talk) 10:01, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Historic image, excellent EV, used to illustrate a number of articles. Elucidate (light up) 10:25, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Dramatic image --Fir0002 10:45, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • question needs a level adjust? de Bivort 19:24, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose, this just isn't a good scan and unless we know the original doesn't exist to be rescanned I don't think it should be promoted. gren グレン 20:22, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose, per gren. Though moving, the quality isn't good. Also, it's too small. SpencerT♦C 21:51, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Reluctant oppose on technicals. 160kb just isn't enough data, which is a very sad thing to say because the EV is so high. Perhaps a good candidate for valued pictures? DurovaCharge! 02:06, 11 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I did nominate this picture mainly for its emotional value. If anyone can clean this up/find a better version somewhere, that'd be excellent. Pstanton 21:58, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
    • I'll throw this out there. The site has info@altearmee.de as its e-mail address. If anyone speaks German they might want to send by an e-mail and see if the image was taken from a museum. If so we might be able to get a better scan that way. gren グレン 20:47, 12 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Small and poor quality. But great EV. A definite candidate for Valued Pictures. If someone can find a higher quality version of this, it's an obvious support. Makeemlighter (talk) 04:08, 12 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not promoted --Wronkiew (talk) 06:15, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
