A fascinating history. Ironically, Albert Speer was one of the great heroes of that era, despite the moral bankruptcy of his Nazi past. Had he carried out Hitler's loony order, the German people themselves would have suffered the most, and their bitter resentment thereafter might have laid the groundwork for a "Fourth Reich." Speer's decision enabled the quick recovery of Germany after the end of the Nazi regime to become an exemplary democracy--let us hope that whoever succeeds Trump can restore America as well!
