This photo was taken in space right after World War II (1946). A team of soldiers and scientists used a German-made V-2 missile equipped with a camera to capture this shot —making it the first photo in space.

That was exactly my thought. That it was something like that, but I was going to guess 1938 or '39, found in seized Nazi documents after the War.

This is still on my search bar "wehrner von braun rocket takes photos from space".
