Speer and Hitler: The Devil's Architect

This three-part docudrama tears open the veil of myths and half-truths obscuring a central figure of the Nazi regime. A man of profound contradictions, Albert Speer was a cultivated intellectual who allied himself with the 20th-century’s most horrifying embodiment of evil… A man schooled in the humanities, yet who controlled Germany’s wartime industry and used slave labor to increase production… A brilliant architect willing to build the ostentatious monuments of a doomed Thousand-Year Reich… A protegé who turned against his master during Hitler’s last months and was the only Nazi leader at the Nuremberg trials to admit a certain responsibility for the regime’s actions, if only in an abstract sense. —bavaria film
