I would definitely recommend reading this book after you have read `Inside the Third Reich' by Speer. Inside the Third Reich is primarily about the governance of Germany under Hitler, as the title suggests. Although Speer looks into aspects of his own morality and the part he played in Hitler's regime this is not the real aim of that book.
The Spandau Diaries, written while Speer was incarcerated in Spandau Prison between 1947 and 1966, are far more unvarnished, due to their nature as journal entries. They delineate the battle of a man with loneliness and someone who I believe struggled to accept his place in history. From my limited architectural understanding if it had not been for his unique relationship with Adolf Hitler his architectural work would have been sound, but would never have made it into any history book.
Throughout his diaries Speer looks back at the past and remincies about moments with Hitler and some of the key decisions that were made in his presence. This is not the strength of this book though. This is a chance to get inside the mind of Albert Speer that the more varnished transcript of Inside the Third Reich does not offer.
The truth is that despite the excellent works like Albert Speer: His Battle with the Truth by the late Gitta Sereny we will never truly know how complicit Speer was in the greatest crimes of the Third Reich. This book however, along with other studies, has helped me to make up my own mind. Speer is truly a fascinating character and this book, if you are interested in his life, you have to read.
I wasn't even born when Speer was imprisoned but by the time of his release I was sixteen years old.
The book can be a bit heavy reading and monotonous at times though he gives interesting accounts of the different personalities and character of the others, Shirach, Raeder, Donitz, Funk, Hess, and Neurath. Its hard to believe that all these men were at one time working for Hitler, though its obvious not all shared the same morales.
The restrictive practices put in place by the four controlling powers running Spandau prison seem quite pathetic and ludicrous, ie, being addressed by number only (Speer was "number five") and not name, no talking allowed, even a polite gesture such as shaking of the hand would result in a reprimand. Yet Speer shows that despite this craziness, many of the guards often 'bent the rule book' and ignored trivial matters, including some of the Russian guards! One of the guards was even helped by Hess to improve his knowledge of the German language.
Speer was not a military man yet had to serve double the sentence which Donitz received.
When Speer is coming to the last few days of his sentence he writes about how Hess will now be left entirely alone which I found quite sad. Hess lived for another 22 years in Spandau after Speer had departed.
It shows the craziness which existed keeping just seven men in a prison whilst other Nazis who had committed far worse crimes enjoyed years of freedom. It also gives a weird insight into the way which the Russian Director (one from each country) often shared meals and drinks together with the British, French and American.
