Photojournalist Lee Miller with children, in St Malo, Brittany, between August 13 and 17, 1944.
The date of the city's liberation by the US 83rd Infantry Division.

She was assigned to cover Saint-Malo, a walled beach town in the north of France that had been reported liberated on August 5, 1944. When she arrived, she found that this was far from the case: Fighting was still raging in Saint-Malo—in fact, it had only just begun. The Wehrmacht commander Andreas von Aulock had holed himself and his troops up in the fortress at Saint-Malo and refused to give in, no matter how hopeless their situation.

Knowing that she was the only reporter on the scene and had the most tantalizing scoop, Miller pursued the story even though she was not officially accredited to cover combat. She billeted with the Civil Affairs Team in Saint-Malo and proved a useful asset to them, lifting spirits, helping with civilians and prisoners, and often doing kitchen patrol to express her gratitude for the warm meals and roof over her head.
