NOT a WW2 photo of a kid with a swastika candy

This picture is shared all over the internet claiming to show a German child during the 1930s or WW2 enjoying some candy with a swastika on it.

This is not a Nazi era photo.

This is photo taken during the filming of the 1983 movie Eine Liebe In Deutschland (A Love in Germany). www.imdb.com/title/tt0085843

I am sure the Nazi propaganda machine produced swastika themed candy at one time or another, but this is not it. You can see it here, right in the first 5 minutes of the film; youtu.be/WVbaqabarrs

In these days of social media and internet, pictures like these start to lead a life of their own and will be accepted as truth and fact by many.
Before you know it they end up in history books.
It is important that we fight this falsification of history.
Please share this information everywhere you find this picture shared as genuine.
