Part 6 Speer The Architect

Speer gave shape to the ideology of the Brown Shirts in stone and concrete, placed art under the banner of the Swastika and recruited an entire population for the munitions industry. A technocrat rather than military man, Hitler exploited the young architect's organisational talents and wealth of ideas for his own ends. Exclusive new revelations prove that Albert Speer knew from early on about the murder of the European Jews. As Minister of Armaments and Munitions and Inspector General of Berlin, he was responsible for the deportation and recruitment of all forced labour. Documents from the Ministry of Armaments and Munitions which have been kept under lock and key until now show how Speer harnessed the whole of German industry and people for the total war effort.
