About This Item
Very good Octavo, 671 pp., cloth cover, clean pages. Stated "first edition" or "Erste Auflage" on copyright page. In publisher's dust jacket, bright illustrations. Signed on front endpaper by Albert Speer. Text in German. Interesting photos of Spandau inmates. . Signed first edition of Spandauer Tagebucher by Albert Speer.
Berthold Konrad Hermann Albert Speer; March 19, 1905 – September 1, 1981) served as the Minister of Armaments and War Production in Nazi Germany during most of World War II. A close ally of Adolf Hitler, he was convicted at the Nuremberg trials and sentenced to 20 years in prison.
After the war, Speer was among the 24 "major war criminals" arrested and charged with the crimes of the Nazi regime at the Nuremberg trials. He was found guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity, principally for the use of slave labor, narrowly avoiding a death sentence. Having served his full term, Speer was released in 1966. He used his writings from the time of imprisonment as the basis for two autobiographical books, Inside the Third Reich and Spandau: The Secret Diaries. Speer's books were a success; the public was fascinated by an inside view of the Third Reich. Speer died of a stroke in 1981. Little remains of his personal architectural work
