Summary

At the Nuremberg Trials, Albert Speer was convicted of 'war crimes' and 'crimes against humanity' and sentenced to 20 years' imprisonment. His expressions of regret and acceptance of responsibility for his part in the German war effort, allowed him to narrowly avoid the hangman. However, he has created much historical controversy, claiming total ignorance of the excesses of the Nazi regime, while at the same time being one of the most influential men in the Third Reich. Was he really the 'Good Nazi' as he portrayed himself?
