1969… Albert Speer, the favorite architect and Minister of Armaments in Hitler's government, publishes his memoirs. Reflecting on his past, he assures the reader that he has completely reevaluated his beliefs. Such a "metamorphosis" allowed him to save his life...
as a result of the Nuremberg Trials. Allegedly knowing nothing about the details of the "final solution to the Jewish question", he is ready to "bear responsibility", but "does not feel guilty". Historians will futilely argue that he is lying: the image of a victim will remain entrenched in the public consciousness for a long time.
Exploring episodes from Speer's life, filling in for him where he wisely falls silent, drawing on eyewitness testimonies, including that of historian Gitta Sereny, who met with Speer multiple times, the author offers us a captivating tale of a man who one of his aides once called the "Führer's unhappy love".
