Lee Miller in Hitler's Bathtub
From The Story of Art Without Men by Katy Hessel:
When covering the liberation of Dachau, Miller wrote “I implore you to believe this is true” in a note to British Vogue, accompanying one of her most significant articles, titled “Believe it”, featuring a devastating image of deceased, fragmented, skeletal and starved bodies pile up on one another, their bare bones made visible by her night-time flash.
Never afraid to enter into terrifying places, on the same day she left Dachau, Miller - along with her friend the Jewish photojournalist David E. Scherman - broke into Hitler’s Munich apartment. It was here that they famously photographed Miller sitting in Hitler’s bath, his muddied bathmat evidently stained by her military boots.
