Photo-journalist Lee Miller in Hitler's bathtub...
...from what I read, the mud on her boots and rug are from Dachau, which she visited, just prior, Apr.30,'45.

Smarta$$.
Lee Miller was a hottie; very attractive woman. She was close friends with Pablo Picasso among others and was active in the surrealist art movement before the war. Her war correspondent days saw her in London during the Blitz and in France just after D-Day, including photographic the concentration camps at Dachau - as mentioned already and Buchenwald. I have a book on her work by a former curator colleague of my wife's.

I hope its not a photoshop job. Dont know the story behind it I just spotted it whilst randomly surfing the web.

Seen it before somewhere, possibly in one of my books. Nothing particularly unusual about the aircraft itself - the starboard wing appears to have received a replacement, and very weathered, outer section, the port wing tip appears to have been replaced, and the overall look of oil stains, dirt and ground crew foot prints on the wings is about average for the period, for a well-used B-17F.
Great pic though - just hope the strike camera which took it, did so after the bombs had been released !
