I did too, and got the same impression. However, I've since read articles about Speer written by historians who think otherwise. They say Speer admitted to just enough guilt to make himself look remorseful, but not enough to send him to the gallows.
That argument does make some sense.
YEs, I remember reading many times that after the war it was almost impossible to find a Nazi in Germany. Like nobody’s guilty in prison.
However, I must say, Obola could be running concentration camps and gas chambers right now for all I know and if it came out, we would all be judged guilty of genocide. And all we did was hate him and everything he stands for.
Am I the only poster to recall the Speer Playboy Interview
Speer looked pretty tame compared to the monsters he worked for
He came very close to being dragged into the July 1944 assasination plot post failure net.....really close
Had he not been Albert Speer he would have dangled from a piano wire noose in some dingy torture chamber like any other political traitor
He had to know what they were up to in totality and he did see where material was going and some say authorized it for some camps
Speer was the ONLY high ranking Nazi that admitted ANY guilt. He also was vindicated by the strictly enforced compartmentalized government functions.
