In the early summer of 1945, Lee Miller sent a telegram back to London about what she had seen in the Nazi death camps. 鈥淚 implore you to believe this is true,鈥� she wrote. Her employers were Vogue magazine. How did a famous beauty like Miller end up covering the war?

Her extraordinary life and the images she left, most famously posing in Hitler's bath, are explored here by Lindsey Hilsum of Channel 4 News. She is joined by Miller's son, Antony Penrose. Lee Miller was American, born in 1907, but lived in Paris and Cairo and then London during the blitz. Her lovers included Man Ray, she knew Cocteau and Picasso, and was an important surrealist. But it was her work in world war two that leads Lindsey Hilsum to claim her as Marie Colvin's spiritual ancestor.
The producer in Bristol is Miles Warde.
