EP 68: Lee Miller

This week on Hashtag History, we are discussing Lee Miller. Miller was a model and photographer, most well-known for being a war correspondent for Vogue during World War II, capturing over 60,000 images (images that many of the male photographers wouldn’t dare to take of the liberated concentration camps at Buchenwald and Dachau. But most iconic of all was when, on April 30, 1945, while Adolf Hitler was committing suicide in a bunker in Berlin, Lee Miller got into his apartment in Munich, took of her muddy, military boots and posed in Hitler’s bathtub for one of the best pictures I have ever seen.

Despite all of these accomplishments (and many more that we will be discussing in this week’s episode), Miller wasn’t very well known until after her death. In fact, her own son was unaware of all of her accomplishments until after she passed away and he discovered the 60,000+ images in her attic.
