Book exposes the Holocaust lies of self-styled ‘good Nazi’
NAZI war criminal Albert Speer – who escaped death by claiming he did not know of Hilter’s atrocities – was at the heart of the Holocaust, a book claims.
A self-professed “good Nazi”, Speer convinced Nuremberg judges of his innocence and was instead sent to Spandau Prison for 20 years.
He later became a prominent speaker on the horrors of the Nazi regime. But a new book by historian Magnus Brechtken exposes his active part in the persecution of Jews and his exploitation of forced labourers. Published next week, Albert Speer, A German Career, also reveals his previously unknown role in deporting Jews from Berlin and his membership of the ultra-right Nazi automobile club in the 1930s. German newspaper Die Welt said Brechtken had “succeeded in the writing deconstruction of the liar Albert Speer.”
