I feel very ignorant right now because I had NO IDEA that Coco Chanel was a Nazi collaborator. Wow, podcasts teach me so much.

I thought this episode was:

😲 Fascinating
πŸ’‘ Educational
🀯 Unbeliveable

@rmmiller364 I know this exact feeling. I was where you were a year ago re: Coco Chanel being a Nazi.

@rmmiller364 This episode also touches on Coco Chanel as a Nazi collaborator, rather more tangentially: 25.
