I don’t think he [Speer, Sr.] should have hanged for it. 20 years in prison was about right.

Well, a person gets 20 years for killing one person. Speer’s crimes were much greater than that. But he didn’t actually order anyone’s death. So I would have given him life, without the possibility of parole.

As an aside, it was a travesty that the sentences of so many Nazis were reduced. That didn’t happen to Speer. But it did happen to Walther Funk, Joachim Peiper, etc., etc. Those bastards should have been made to serve every second of their original sentence.

Unlike Hess, Speer was intelligent and he spoke English. He didn't deny his responsibility. Hess what a nitwit, I don't believe he deserved life either. Almost all of the Nazi murders happened when he was in English custody.
