Reason of the photos of Thomas and Melanie.
I think that maybe Melanie and Thomas were offered a song together, and that's why those photos were taken. (I don't deny the possibility that they were boyfriend and girlfriend)

Can be. Very mysterious case.
Maybe they were colleagues at the time until Melanie stopped singing. One of the photos with her and Thomas was taken in 1983. But it's weird that nobody has asked them about this. They made up a whole story about Thomas' fake girlfriends but they could not ask him about this.
which one
It is the same outfit that Thomas wore in the performance of his first song with Dieter Bohlen "Was macht das schon" in February 1983.
Where did the Russians find the photos to post them? (maybe that says something)
Maybe the photos existed somewhere in old forums and they have been saved. Russian fans are crazy fans. It's thanks to them that we have in possession so many old magazines. Because the German fans still have no idea they existed at all.
