On the day Hitler committed suicide in Berlin, April 30, 1945, Miller was in Munich after photographing the liberated Dachau concentration camp.
Miller was sent to Hitler’s apartment in Munich to photograph it. She herself, after doing her work, bathed in the now dead dictator’s bathtub and slept in his bed.

After the war ended, Miller settled permanently in England with her family but – influenced by what she saw and captured with her lens during the war – suffered from depression.
