The Making of a Gentleman Nazi: Albert Speer's Politics of History in the Federal Republic of Germany

by Baijayanti Roy

Albert Speer, Hitler's architect and minister, projected an image of being the "gentleman Nazi" after the war. This work analyses, on the basis of new archival data, how cleverly he distorted history in order to disseminate his image, and the ways in which the "Speer myth" was reinforced by renowned public intellectuals in and outside of Germany.
