I knew an Army officer who led a force that liberated camps. He had actual negatives and prints of German photos taken at the camps. I was a young Navy photographer at the time. Seeing the "negs" firmly sealed the proof of the concentration camps. It's hard to Photoshop a 35mm negative film strip, especially using 1940s technology.

My uncle was a US Army CID (If that’s what they called it then!) investigator he had several shoe-boxes of black & white photographs of the camps. I assume he and others took these photos while they were collecting evidence for the Nuremberg War Crime trials. Those photos did not look very “official”, they looked like they were taken by ordinary GI’s with personal cameras. My uncle wouldn’t talk much about it. I have no idea what my cousins did with them. The cousin my age only has a vague recollection of them. When my uncle died his oldest daughter handled the estate and likely threw them out. History was not at all interesting to her even when it involved family history. Unless it could be used to increase social standing in our little community All of us who might of cared at the time were several states out of the area
