About this listen

Discover the remarkable life of Albert Speer...
Albert Speer was the man in charge of designing Adolf Hitler’s Third Reich. Yet he was more than just an architect—he was one of Hitler’s closest confidants and a key player in the Nazi war machine. Born into a wealthy German family, Speer’s life was shaped by privilege and ambition. He rose quickly through the ranks of the Nazi Party after impressing Hitler with his grand architectural visions and sharp organizational skills. Before long, he found himself at the heart of the Third Reich, helping to fuel its war effort and shape its image.

But who was Albert Speer, really? Was he, as he later claimed, simply an apolitical technocrat who got in too deep? Or was he fully aware of the horrors happening around him? After the war, Speer worked hard to distance himself from the worst crimes of the Nazi regime by crafting the image of the so-called “Good Nazi.” He always insisted that he had no knowledge of the darker side of the Nazi regime. This book dives into Speer’s fascinating and complex story, exploring his rise to power, his close relationship with Hitler, and the moral choices that defined his life. This is the story of Albert Speer.
