316. Hitler's Photographer: Nazi Secrets, Eva Braun, & Escaping Justice

Hello and welcome to Empire with me, Anita Arnan. And me, William Durumple. We often discuss on this podcast the rise and fall of empires through battles, invasions, powerful leaders. We look through those lenses. But we thought today we'd look at the men and women who are actually behind the lenses themselves, the ones who are photographing these great

epochs, because often what they're photographing is fascinating, no doubt about it, changes history. But also their lives are really interesting. You may not have heard their names, but you will have seen their work. You will have seen these images. So three photographers we're going to be concentrating on in this little mini-series.

One is the product of a dying Ottoman Empire, the other is the son of a rising Third Reich, and the third is a Mausi woman, very easily dismissed, who takes on a powerful king of Europe and wins. And their names, let me tell you right now, will probably be unfamiliar to you. But their images will not, because you see them everywhere you go. You will have seen them on postage stamps, you will have seen them on big portraits hanging in important houses.
