A great diary of Albert Speer the Architect who helped the German Gorvernment during the 2nd. World War prosper.

You don't oftenly see such detailed and accurate diaries from important figures
that were part of the German Government during the WW2.

It is realistic and very interesting.
The diaries were written by Albert Speer himself during his captivity and smuggled after he was sentenced for 20 years after the WWII has ended.
The authors probably did not change much of his stories, they are Britons.
Albert Speer was an intellectual who helped during WWII with many great designs and schemes
for the Empire to become rich and prosperous.

An extremely informative and educative view of what transpired inside the third Reich when coupled with the other book of Albert Speer titled "Inside the Third Reich" . A candid report of the author's personal life experience. Sometimes boring, but what could you expect of 20 years behind bars?

AWESOME

This is a MUST read book, so much detail & information. One of my favorite books on a different slant about the Nuremburgh Nazi Trials/ Holocaust / what the " saved " Nazis endured during their stay in Spandau
etc. Very easy reading . My personal feeling is ALL of them should've HANGED, Speer included ! So many escaped JUSTICE because maybe they weren't the " exact " ones to lead the poor men/women/children into the Gas Chambers etc., but they didn't have too, they had others to do their "BLOODY Work" for them & were able to keep their hands "clean ". While SPEER was no doubt " Between a Rock & A Hard Place ", he knew of the MONSTROUS regime he was working for & what it's EVIL Plans were for the Jews & others that didn't " FIT " into Hitlers future ! He just figured as long as he was not "physically " attached, he was " clean " ! He was part of the EVIL CHAIN OF COMMAND & should've hung! There's no doubt thousands that escaped justice should've HUNG, camp guards etc., as i've read several books on the Holocaust & survivor storys. The whole WORLD owes the JEWS an apology ? { more than that ] because of HOW we ignored what was being done to them [not just the Jews ]when we KNEW way beforehand of the catrastophe that was developing !!!Shame on us , may WE [The World ] NEVER allow nothing like this to EVER happen again !!!!

If you are interested in Albert Speer this is unmissable

Rezension aus dem Vereinigten Königreich vom 31. Juli 2012

I would not necessarily recommend this book for people interested in or in Second World War or the Nazi Party. If you are interested in the life of Albert Speer and his `battle with the truth' you will however find this book hard to put down.

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.

Witnesses and survivors of the biggest crime in history: WWII

Rezension aus dem Vereinigten Königreich vom 30. September 2022

Verifizierter Kauf

Albert Speer paints a picture of survival after a fall from power and interlaces it with gems from his other six Neighbours in Spandau and the Hitler inner circle. For those studying the greatest crime in modern history this is a must read. It will soon be on the shelves of the Welsh Spitfire library.
