Quick Summary

"Spandau: The Secret Diaries" is a work by Albert Speer, who was Adolf Hitler's chief architect and minister for armaments and war production during World War II. Speer was convicted of war crimes and crimes against humanity at the Nuremberg trials and served a 20-year sentence at Spandau Prison. After his release, he wrote several books about the Third Reich, including "Spandau: The Secret Diaries," published in 1976. In his writings, Speer expressed remorse but also claimed ignorance of the full extent of Nazi atrocities, a claim later challenged by evidence.12
