Hitler's Circle of Evil: Albert Speer Is Threatened by the Regime

- Its early 1942 and the Nazi’s invasion of Soviet Russia has reached a critical stage. With the United States also about to join the war, Germany is crying out for more tanks and aircraft. Who can Hitler trust to save the war effort? No one is expecting Albert Speer, his friend and favourite architect. Despite his inexperience Speer proves to be shrewd and capable operator rationalizing German industry to maximise production. But his success soon stirs up a rat’s nest of jealousy and intrigue and when he tries to convince Hitler to accept increasingly painful sacrifices to save the Third Reich, his more sycophantic rivals are ready to pounce. Speer’s rise will put the ambitious architect into the firing line of the most notorious figures in the Nazi regime. It’s a confrontation that would threaten his life.

How he eluded the drop really eludes me.
The Allies should have put him in charge of rebuilding Germany. Keeping him in prison was a waste.
These cronies were like people fighting over to be the next captain of the Titanic after it hit the Iceberg .
Simply incredible .
Martin Bormann took his own life on May 1, 1945 (claimed to be a day after Adolf Hitlers death) Yet was sentenced to death at the Nuremberg trials. The trial got underway on 20 November 1945. Lacking evidence confirming Bormann's death, the International Military Tribunal tried him in absentia
Like the modern day GOP in the US
Hitler saw in Speer a younger version of what he really wanted to be; an artist in engineering who loved Germany fanatically. Definitely a personal affection between them.
Of all the things everyone did to get executed, he ignored Hitler's demand to destroy all the infrastructure to make it harder for the allies to get to Berlin. And he told him in Hitler's last days, and he let him go, when many others would have been executed for much less. Crazy stuff.
Speer also was Uncle Adolph's personal architect of the future cities of Germany. Hitler used to tell him how the allied bombing was making it easier to rebuild Germany's cities.
'Adolf.' He wasn't French.
HITLER WAS A NUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@gwayne919 yes remember that picture of them drooling over the model of 'Germania'😂
@@petebondurant58 swings and roundabouts 😂
Todt told Hitler to his face that the logistics wouldn't be enough to win the war and that he should sue for Peace. Shortly thereafter Todts plane mysteriously crashes. Guess Hitler didn't like what he heard. But Todt was correct
Whoes Todt?
@@christophercook723the former Armentants Head. The Person Speer replaced
@@darrellhyde7978 What's an armendment?
@@christophercook723 Fritz Todt was the head of the Todt Organization and was Reich Minister for Armaments and War Production, until his death in a plane crash in 1942.
Of those people involved with Albert Speer in Germany's high command. A majority took their own lives in 1945, towards and at the end of World War Two. Meanwhile Speer did spend 20 years in prison from 1947 and lived to publish several books before his death in 1981.
20 Years is alot of missing of life .
@Crashed131963 20 years for War Crimes and escaping narrowly from being given the death sentence or life imprisonment.
You write as if War Crimes are a Petty crime
@@Crashed131963 He died in his young mistress's arms. He had wife who was married for 50 years ! His wife was the one who visited him in Spandau prison during the 20 years !
I heard that he said he was sorry at Nuremberg trials and that probably saved him from certain hanging since he was responsible for his underground armaments plants working many workers to death. I was aquainted with a man whose Polish family was murdered by einsatsgrupen at 10. He ran escaping with his life until he was captured and put to work in an underground V2 tail fin plant surviving until liberation. He saw many people die in the cold and darkness and never being fed enough. He made it to Venezuela after the war and raised a family eventually landing in Nova Scotia where I found his descendants in 08. What a great reunion of sorts.
@youngsong2254 The fact that he died in a London in actual England. Which has more truth to it than your fantasy tale
While in London he had dinner the night before. From who this quote belongs.
" l have some reason for considering this. I took Speer to dinner in London, at Brown’s Hotel in Albemarle Street, Mayfair, on the night before he died - of a stroke in St Mary’s Hospital, Paddington, on 1st September 1981." (Norman Stone)
Speer - The smartest Nazi.
What about Werner von Braun?
That's why he live a long life the Nazi who said he is sorry ...
One of the most dirty slimy anyhow , they all were some had more luck than others at sanitising at the end to save their own necks BTW poetic for justice for Goering being annoyed with Speer throwing his colleagues under the bus. A full twenty year term served in prison by Speer was something, poor Hess another one of the unlucky ones by contrast.
Some of the scenes are not related to the subject matter. Since I am aquainted with a lot of WW2 history it's easy to see the relevant scenery.
Georing was nowhere near Hitler when the decision to try an airlift to Stalingrad,Jesoneck (or however its spelled) did,Georing was in France looting art,but after the ball started rolling they crunched the numbers and told Hitler it coudnt be done but the decision couldn't be reversed for some reason,what was said here is not even close to reality
Absolutely. By the way, Göring was clever politician, thief by his nature, very cruel oerson, but he was in essence a weak Luftwaffe commander. The British were extremely fortunate that he headed the Luftwaffe during the Battle for Britain and not the man like Dönitz with his qualities. Göring was a flamboyant man with his plush uniform and a grand staff but he wasn't able to formulate clearly priorities and what's even more important - to achieve them relentlessly
tomarrow belongs to me.
I knew his dad very well.
Fair to say......they were ALL very Nazty
As for rivalry in Nazi Germany. There reigned the system which can be called "the social darwinism". For every task there were competing persons with crossing spheres of competence. If the person was fortunate in his job, his sphere of competence increased and he had more power. If he couldn't deliver, his sphere of competence decreased and he was losing power. But nobody got fired from his post. So Göring never lost any of his posts up to the end although in the end of Nazi Germany he had almost no power and real influence. This system was very costly although had some advantages. Stalin had a totally different system. Only by the very end of his life he allowed something similar - when his long time crony Molotov was coming to his work and literally was doing nothing in his office because he was pushed aside of any power. But in Stalin's empire it was a very ominous sign. Such person almost certainly was slated for repressions. His says were numbered and it wouldn't be long as he were accused of working for Honduran intelligence or being a covert Trotskyite or what else. But Hitler was totally content with that. He simply distributed power and authority by his own volition not caring specially about official posts.
hey all, as a dumb american, i need something explained to me... I understand the implication of "worth a punt" at 6:44... but does anyone know the origin?... is it from the sport we call soccer and you call football?... i am also not a sports fan.... THX!!
Don't know if this is correct but to me it means 'worth a bet'
@@abstractacus1598 yes, I understood the implied meaning… I asked about the origin
It comes from the old way of using rivers etc to move from place to place. A " Boat/Canoe " was used.
It being a flatbottomed boat called a " punt " . So the expression " worth a punt " means " Worth the trip " or " worth the chance ". Used a lot in betting
shops.
@@MrBobthebird oh cool!!! Thank you VERY much!!!
@@coodudeman I have just come back from " Normandy " To me all Americans are very brave people. Thanks to their help, We kicked the " Nazis out of Europe and rid them from this planet. To see all those white head stones is heart breaking. So to my mind there is nothing called a " Dumb American ". We learn by asking Questions. Cheers From London.England.
What a selfish, cruel and unnecessary plan.
Docudramas are ridiculous! Your narratives are smartly written and explained by actual historians, please illustrate them with actual historical footage only, not bad acted, badly constructed, unconnected snipets of randon people making faces and looking ... nowhere
"Historians," are you kidding? You must have low standards.
A study of history will show that attacking Russia will lead to disaster for the attacker
Does anyone know what Nazi stand fore ? Hint you need to go back in time about 3000+ years.
The party's full name in English is National Socialist German Workers' party; Nazi is short for its German name.
Oh? How so?
National Socialist German Workers' Party (Nationalsozialistische deutsche Arbeiterpartei or NSDAP). Nazi ideology was racist, nationalist, and anti-democratic.
@dennisthompson7857 just because the chose of the swastika is a religious symbol that is thousands of years old. Does not mean that is directly related to the Nazism. It was just the Nazi Party choice as a logo. Since they attempted to show that they were a superior human race. 🤧 In their eyes
@@ChristopherWHerbert Nazi didn't think they are superior race.
