@@ROOKTABULA my apologies my friend, I obviously can't read because I misread your question/comment. Again my humblest apologies

I do believe he was sort of sorry, and sort of not sorry in some kind of an denial, at the same time its possible he didn't quite understand what Himmler was doing with the Jews, or what was happening to them... He definitely needed to know, and he partially did so also for publicity reasons.

@@BlazeMaster His children (who were estranged from him at the time of his death) said he knew perfectly well what was happening to the Jews. Nobody as high up in the Nazi ranks could be that ignorant. He fooled the judges at Nuremberg because he put on a good act and was educated and well-spoken, unlike that toad Julius Streicher, who was so repulsive many Nazis couldn't stand him.

Smart? Evil would be more accurate.

Great story and I am glad he survived so I could hear it. He was an architect for God's sake!!

If some of you fruit loops had read "Inside the third Rich" then you may have a different opinion of Speer. He was one of the more decent Germans.

@Dirk Diggler I think it's quoted from Speer's book, "Inside the Third Reich."

@Dirk Diggler I love the nick name👍

Why? It was nice design

his father was an architect too

How is it different to Paris?

My view entirely.

WTF ? He denighed ever knowing about the death Camps. yet worked many thousands of Slave labourers to death, in most of the armament factorys, as the Nazis struggled to supply their dwindling troops, due to massive bombing of their Factories. HE, was in charge of it all, arselicking for Hitler.

Everyone was complicit.

​​@@hypercomms2001he didn't admit his guilt. He admitted responsibility because of his position. There's a difference there. But yes he or/and his lawyer was clever enough to contrast himself with some common sense. The other nazis were quite delusional and narcissistic.

Yes, this is essentially correct. In his book(s) he said his lawyer outlined his responsibility to his client, basically the lawyer told him that there were mountains of evidence to hang all his co-defendants. The new arguments, that they had surrendered to the Western Allies, the Treaty of Versailles, etc. were moot --they having being exhausted, in any event, too much evidence of war crime and the danger of being given to the Russians, considered a de facto death sentence, in any event. But, said the lawyer, there was a small chance he could save his life, if he admitted to the crimes he had committed, denied what there was no proof of, and claimed succor under Christian ethics-- a sharp contrast to what the Nazi's presented-- with a long apology. The lawyer gave him no choice. He refused to preside over a defense --which had as its outcome the death of his client-- which he saw as an automatic loss. It may have worked because it gave the tribunal a cudgel to beat harder the other defendants. Goring, at trial, called him a swine-- likely thinking along these lines.

+Anne Wolfe Having a clear understanding of the English language was very helpful to Herr Speer.

+GTown Dave Goering spoke English like Hess and a few others!

Hess was most fluent in English and Eqyptian too from what I understand. I knew the ReichsMarshal spoke English but I did know how astute.

He should have been in prison until he died just like Hess.

and tried to justify his actions through saying he was such a professional that he forgot humanity.

Glenn Howden Thats so well said, I needed that knowledge years ago, I am still doing that unfortunately,at 75yrs

That is crowd syndrome. That is dangerous. So people need their own point of view?

dong quan Oh yeah? Tel that to people in America who don’t go along with the official mainstream narrative and pc culture.

Then there's those of us who can't fathom that. I can't. We all know right from wrong. We are a product of out choices.

Im a free-thinking individual, don't let the 'e' numbers get you!

But, you see, in many ways his appointed attorney was doing what he was supposed to do as a defense attorney. He followed the client's direction as to the direction of defense he wanted and it was up to the Courts as to whether to believe it or not. They chose to 'buy it' for whatever reason. I strongly believe the choice was far too high a price for people to pay but the choice was not mine to make.

Agreed. But self preservation is the 1st thing we learn outta the womb.🤔✌

Speer was not there...why dissect after he dat 20 yrs in jail a reason for what.with respect some of the stories told by the survivors you just cannot believe..and you know it's true....the one even met the pole that actually was killed in the camp at a party as few years after liberation...the one woman danced all the time..do you want to kill all the Germans now because of the Jews.now the Jews are infighting so much that they are open prey to those wanting to kill them....because they became so woke overnight

​@@Isabella-nh5dm being the only one to admit partial guilt goes a long way in swaying judges when all other defendants deny that any crime had ever occured. Speer found the perfect balance between admitting collective responsibility while rejecting any person guilt. Dönitz, who was guilty of a lot less than Speer, could have probably been acquitted if he had employed a similar tactic, but he remained stubborn.

But isn't that everyone's goal in life?

I think quite so, at his worst, he was more like the guy that was not really interested in the holocaust but knew, but just did not care. Plenty enough of people with that mindset to be honest.

That's about right. Typical ambitious suck up, just on a grand scale.

Speer joins the Nazi Party in 1931, more than a year before Hitler came to power.

He was remorseless, he was very intelligent and manipulated the tribune's to gain sympathy never reviling his real face and his evil part in the final solution of so many Millon's soul's..,, I am sure he was responsible and did responds to God, since God Holds the truth in every thing we do

@David McConville David, your comment is so truthful ! I watched few documentaries about his big part with the death of thousand of prisoners working 24 hour's inside tunnel without food, water and rest, they died like fly's,,, What kind of humanity' he had?

I must agree. He made a devil's deal with his captors. I'll tell all of you how it was done, and you give me a decent deal on that. That's what he probably said. information the allies I'm sure wanted to glean and prevent an other world war. What were the steps, plans, outlines, expectations of work and life longevity of prisoners working under those conditions. Project size, enormous engineering speed in completing them. Nazi outlines and goal at what time period. Not only for history, but for possible use for the victors. Perhaps not all the victors, but you always will have countries just wanting to mine secrets and store them in a box in some warehouse for use many years later if needed.

The point of view of Mr Bennito carries more credibility than Speer's assertion that he knew nothing. Wernher von Braun, and the rest of the Paperclip brigade, also knew what was happening to the POWs and political prisoners, yet their brains kept their necks out of Mr Pierrpoint's noose. During his life and for some time after there were people still alive in the Channel Islands who knew more than they will ever say about what went on in the labour camps. The Holocaust will always be wrapped up in controversy, why it happened, who caused it to happen and what the result was supposed to be. Although there is so much information that appears to debunk many of the events, there is no possibility of denying that millions of people were captured, enslaved, brutally treated and worked to death. Many people considered not worthy of life or of no immediate use to the regime, were killed, some in sadistic ways. Anyone opposing it or appearing to be a threat to it were similarly treated. This was happening all over the world and still is. History is written by the victors, and the victors claim the spoils. The prizes of the Third Reich were not just physical treasures. There was a wealth of technological and intellectual property that would prove to be vital for the new world order that came about in the post war, post empire, post old world era. Ignorance is never an excuse for breaking the law. Nobody escapes justice though, he was clearly tortured by his own lies. This proves that he was not just a mindless thug or psychopath, he consciously and with forethought acted as though nothing was out of the ordinary. He was a true Nazi.

Stephen Brookes good point!

You know what, probably one of the best comments. He was not the only one either, thousands of German Nazis made deals with the West and with USSR. I guess we should be thankful in away that most of the best talent ended up with us, otherwise... the Soviets may have taken over Europe.

@@ronwhite7095 Yes, all of it.

He is still a murderer of Jews. He has that tattooed on his soul.

He is as liable as the rest of the nazis. He escaped with his life only because the truth was uncovered after his death. Let him rot in hell

@@georgemargaritis2392 When the allies knew the village of Dresden was filled with thousands of innocent fleeing civilians they didn't think twice about innocent lives being lost. The atrocities the Allies committed in India got quickly brushed under the carpet out of "convenience" & a bad habit of portraying themselves as the good guys. Let them rot in hell alongside Speer then.

That's brilliant if you ask me...he was a weasel know doubt...but this weasel sure knew how to work a crowd.

@@aliciadavis8872 In the times of nuclear annihilation, the cockroaches are king.

Not to forget the COLD WAR BONUS many of those people became because of making themselves usefull on both sides of the IRON CURTAIN. The Soviet Propaganda had always claimed the true Nazis were all in the West. Yet the people organizing the Social Politcal and Military organisations in East Germany had been also a socalled " BROWN PAST " ( as in the Nazi Party Anathem - BLACKBROWN IS THE HAZLENUT AND BLACKBROWN SO ARE YOU ... ; referrring to the colour of the make believe uniform those people had sported )

And got to live! Prudent.

Speer was truly ashamed by the crimes of the Nazi totalitarian regime. The Nazi leadership was judged and condemned to death or prison. The other totalitarian and criminal regime has never been judged or condemned. Even today there are Communists parties in many countries, which is outrageous. From a quite reliable source, the archives from the Soviet State and others, most researchers and historians had concluded that almost 50 million people were annihilated from the very beginning of the Soviet system with Lenin, through Stalin and even until the 1970s. These genocides were horrendous; and even were repeated by Mao in China (1940s to the cultural revolution) Pol Pot and his Khmer Rouge in Cambodia in the 1970s. One day the civilized world should treat these monsters in the same way that were treated the Nazis

Nothing that Speer did was done without careful thought of how he could get the most out of his position. Even whe he counters the "scorched earth" directive. Conveniently, every single one of the infrastructures that he raced around to save belonged to friends of his. And only the ones belonging to friends and colleagues of his were saved. A man who has that much knowledge certainly knows where his slave labor is coming from and what happened to the. When theh could no longer work.

Mermur please learn real history you don’t have the slightest idea of what you are saying. My family left Austria because of the Nazis; later on, they suffered persecution in Soviet-occupied Europe and were murdered by the Red Army and the KGB.

He knew what was going on there's no way he could have been ignorant of it. He was a master manipulator & con man, & he conned the court into letting him live.

@@jodiemichellebatten5224 I Agree wholeheartedly

My sentiments also on a great piece of war documentation through media.

He was in charge of armaments manufacturing, and it was he who insisted on more slave labour to meet his goals of keeping the German military machine running. It's inexplicable that this war criminal wasn't hung.

Goebbels was pretty well-educated too by Nazi standards (a PhD) but he's another case altogether. I think ambition seized hold of Speer and consumed him, like a 2Oth century Faust.

Because going to university trains you to think what you're told by others

Great post

+Jeff Allcock *"He claims to have been absent when Himmler delivered his infamous Posen speech, admitting to the destruction of the Jews."* Yes he did. And no he wasn't! *"There is no doubt - I was present as Himmler announced on October 6th 1943 that all Jews would be killed. Who would believe me that I suppressed this?"* - Speer, Albert, letter to Hélène Jeanty, December 23rd, 1971, www.theguardian.com/world/2007/mar/13/secondworldwar.kateconnolly Not such a 'good Nazi' after all, eh?

Jeff Alcock, just who did Albert Speers murder, imprison, persecute or ridicule. He was a genius designer and architect, not an executioner or torturer. He did not deserve to hang, people like you who profess to be judge and jury are the incriminators of this world who spout nonsense. Yes, you would be the pointing finger at those who are misjudged and executed. Of course he was guilty of being a nazi and of being complicit in certain areas but he probably broke less of the ten commandments that you or your friends may have? Judge yourself before others, you sad individual.

Steve Sloan Hitler himself said, “If you tell a lie enough times, it becomes truth.”

It is brilliant. She did a wonderful job in drawing him out in a way no one else did. Speer spent the rest of his life (after Spandau) trying to understand himself in numerous ways, with numerous religious bodies and others. He was full of guilt. As Gita wrote, his battle with truth.

Xandi Mars That doesn't make it any easier to swallow in which case he'd suicide without second thought. Once he was made aware of the mere implication, he didn't want to know, and with that always being hammered as a defense mechanism it becomes to "I didn't know.".

Xandi Mars didn't most people in germany know at that point? I mean it was one of hitlers earliest policies.. and being one of the top ranking nazi official's and close friend of hitler it was very obvious he knew..

I read several books on it ..and have an my thoughts on his actions. I wont dignify your words anymore

The Jews were persecuted from the get go with the restoration of the civil service, along with women and non nazis but the holocaust or "final solution" only started at the wansee conference in 1941

+Xandi Mars Ofcourse he knew. The reason why he managed to convince others of his ignorance decades after WWII, was just because political correctness and emo-politics had already come into play. The masses love a crying man, it's so progressive,...

That's a very balanced comment. Many here seriously doubt Speer's sincerity & there is a twinge of bitterness in many comments...understandably. However as we now head into another age of vicious authoritarianism far more encompassing, global & equally brutal most if not all of these people will bury their heads in the sand & ignore the evils around them branding any who try to warn them as conspiracy theorists. This also is a dishonest form of self preservation & the reason many evil people are highly successful. We are all guilty of being human for want of a better way of putting it. Adam & Eve ate the fruit but can any of us say in that situation we would not have done the same thing? A great many will answer they wouldn't but in practice most if not all would.

Not a new wife; his wife was waiting after his prison release. He had the affair with the younger woman much later, according to this account.

All the civilians of Germany looked the other way so really they all should have been rounded up to face the courts

@peter9110: Attention, Speer didn't get all he want, he desperately tried to find peace with God, the Almighty. He didn't really repent and, so God couldn't help him by the prison clergy man, so he will definitely end up in hell! Speer got earthly fame & honour, that's vanity of vanities and will perish, but his soul will not vanish and have eternal pain.

What do you know of the holocaust... even the pictures taken after the fact, and the destruction of evidence by Allied/Soviet forces of such atrocities that should have been kept? Curious, just how much do you know apart from the usual stuff you hear and see. On the other hand, what about german PoW's, tens of thousands who went missing/died under Allied jurisdiction... and under the Soviets? German's were not he only ones to use prisoners as labor, nor the only ones to abuse them. Yes, Speer knew fine well... like most of them, or all of them that were enlisted by Allied/Soviet government - including the famous Wernher Von Braun.

There's a good chance he gave up information about the nazi regime to save his own neck.

The Soviet Union practiced a system of slave labor for decades before the Nazi regime employed them during the war. It’s absurd to act all shocked about it when you’re sitting next to judges that represent a state that is doing what you are condemning someone else for openly.

​@@thechosenone1533he worked as a propaganda tool for the Zionists to speak there bullshit and make everyone go like "holocaust happened, Hitler bad, Nazi bad."

The victors let go most war criminals.

saying "sorry" is more then anyone else said

It still astonishes me that Fritz Sauckel, merely the supplier of the labor, was hanged, yet Speer, who asked for the labor in the first place, was given a prison sentence. He's a strange man to understand, but I believe he was a born survivor, and had to use every bit of wit and guile to charm the prosecution and judges into not giving him the death sentence. He had a few things going for him. He was very good-looking, patrician, spoke English fairly decently. Sauckel was course, bull-headed, not well-educated...

@Nobody Knows He saved _thousands of Jews?_ That's a twisted justification for his using slave labor, which were to be worked to death, or otherwise killed when no longer useful. Speer lied about _everything_ especially about his knowledge and participation in the holocaust.

Emanresuadeen. Speer was an architect and helped design the layout of the camps.

@@donsettie344 Speer, in his official capacity, also approved the physical expansion of Auschwitz. Additionally, he made certain the necessary construction materials were sent. He should have been hanged.

That is quite fascinating …and I’m sure you heard about some interesting adventures by the scoundrels that made up the Third Reich …. I would love to hear more about the whole thing.

I hope you recorded those interviews.

How do you know?

@Old Soul Nonsense, Speer was a snake who deliberately pushed his subordinate Sauckel to the gallows in order to save himself. He admitted 'common responsibility' but was evasive when it came to his own personal responsibility - everything was either the fault of others or not as bad as the prosecution made out, while also concocting tales of bogus assassination attempts against Hitler. He also lied about his knowledge of the Holocaust and in the slave labour program.

What it shows is he was smarter than the rest.

When did you meet him?

@Old Soul Bullshit. He killed thousands of slave laborers.

Hello again, Jeffrey. The Germania model's fate is uncertain, although several Berlin museums now have exhibitions related to it with some reconstructions on display. I think Speer replaced Todt as armaments minister because, like Todt, he had the organisational skills and the vision to realise grandiose plans. Whether Speer was actually a good architect or not, I am not qualified to say. However, I have heard other experts describe his work as 'mundane' or 'too angular'. His great guiding light was the 'theory of ruins' (as you say, megalomania architecture) and we can be certain that his Rally Grounds at Nuremburg will be there for a very long time to come! Regards - Alan.

Speer objected when Hitler named him as Armaments Minister. He didn't think he was capable of doing the job either. He also admitted during his years as minister that there were others far more qualified for the position than himself, but he had the "nimbus" of Hitler at his back, and that made all the difference. Speer says that he thought Hitler appointed him because Hitler preferred amateurs to professionals in key positions. Hitler himself was an amateur.

***** If you review the video you can find it says that the Armaments Minister of Hitler was killed in an airplane, and it is not like Speer "wanted to be Armaments Minister", HItler wanted to give that position to Speer. Just imagine if he said no to Hitler.So that is why he got that job.

Speer wasn't that good as architect. Nürrnbergs Speer buildings are in pretty bad conditions because they are not that massive as it seems. He faked a lot and did a lot of mistakes. But he was good in pushing to work, organize ordered tasks. He was good in manipulation and forcing people within strict and brutal structures. During his "architects days" he developed also the masterplan how to deport jews, how to built KZ's and how to use them as slaves and sell that to his "Führer" as a well organized, profitable work. THAT was the argument for Hitler.

Georg Rusbeck Ah, very interesting. I don't doubt it. Anyone within the Fuhrer's inner circle were working toward the same goal, no matter what their supposed profession was....

Agree 100%, well said. 🤔✌

It was proven he didn't care. I'm surprised people are mentioning the documentary "world at war" from the 70s where they interviewed him. The journalist actually said how gross she felt because she had to pretend to agree with his white power master race views. But she was actually sick from talking to him. Letters, journal entries and other interviews also showed how much of a monster he was as well as other investigations showing how hands on he was with some of this horrific acts. It's so strange seeing people debate about whether he was good or bad especially with information spanning almost a 100 years available to study.

My question is whether he felt any remorse and feelings for the holocaust victims while he designing structures that helped in the mass murder.

Speer was never a "reasonably good person." He and the likes of him are always greedy, calculating narcissist! Sadly, there are countless contemporaries!

Himmler has a weird voice tbh

Malcolm Marzo, your comment touched me deeply, you have not pointed your finger, but owned the potential/reality of malevolence within all of us. What better place to witness this than wartime. Thank you for sharing arohanui from New Zealand.

Finally, a real comment.

A book full of lies

Lol the book is Speer’s own propaganda to make him look good.

Yet it never deterred him from befriending this strange man Hitler, and doing his murderous bidding.

dear dr brown, i was only discussing the exact same issue with a friend yesterday as i thought it was a contridiction iin terms, its like magic that i turned to your documentary!

+Dr Alan Brown Are you suggesting our Social democratic Scandinavian countries was NAZIS?

Melchersson _Are you suggesting our Social democratic Scandinavian countries was NAZIS?_ How have you come to that conclusion?

+Dr Alan Brown There's some confusion between Corporatism and Socialism; both are state-directed economic philosophies but with different perspectives on the purpose or outcome. Gregor Strasser embodied the socialist aspect but once the Nazis decided to co-opt the old Nationalist German Right, they backed away from that and arguably became corporatist. Its hard to ascribe any structured philosophy to the essentially chaotic nature of the Nazi state but right to the end they saw themselves as anti-bourgeois.

+Melchersson I've never seen why Speer was spared the death sentence other than as a political gesture. The Nazi economic machine was built on slave labour - Speer engaged in a heated argument with Himmler about the need to feed laborers more so they wouldn't die as quickly (he argued that the wastage rate was poor planning). Claiming ignorance of the Jewish extermination program seems both unbelievable for someone so intimately involved in the Nazi war economy and irrelevant. He certainly knew all about the use of slave labour and the associated death rates - I can't see how he could be any less guilty than people like Streicher and Keitel.

Not just wars. It is the same mecanism of lying to yourself and inhumanity that pervates all of our sociaty to day. Even the so called civilized countries are fundamentally based on the same kind of insanity that Speer seems to posses.

you don't know whats really going on do you, see comments above.
