The book is thoughtful but one can read between the lines that the author is more guilty than he lets on. This work is partly his effort to come clean by accepting a lower responsibility. Ignore that and it does shine an instructive light upon how an autocratic regime might function at its rotten core. And there’re no innocent people there.

Much history we needed to know
Reviewed in the United States on 3 July 2024Verified Purchase
Read and know the human side of a terrible time in German history by a man who was part of it but who also had a conscience. I was particularly interested in his views as he had saved the life of my friend's grandfather after the coup against Hitler. Historically Speer will always be controversial but he also teaches us many lessons we need to know abut the evils of fascism. His books are needed for the many sides of historical accuracy. It was a fascinating read when compared with many other books of the period.

Fascinating Read
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 September 2023Verified Purchase
Albert Speer. Was he really a Good Nazi? Yes, of course he was a good Nazi - otherwise he wouldn’t have been an intimate of Hitler’s inner circle and probably the latter’s only real friend since both men shared a passion for megalomaniacal architecture. I suspect his contrition (which is sometimes expressed in these pages) and limited admission of culpability owes nothing to the scales falling from his eyes like some latter-day Saul but solely to the defeat of Nazi Germany and his own fate pending the tribunal’s judgement.
This self-serving but interesting book is in three main parts: Speer the great architect, Speer the genius of armaments production, Speer the saviour of what remained of Germany’s infrastructure. Like Coriolanus, alone he did it. A postscript could also include Speer the martyr. Through his sentence and that of others Speer claims extirpation of blame on behalf of his nation. Leaders alone atoned for the German people. Perhaps he should have demanded crucifixion by the tribunal for added symbolic effect.
There are sins of omission and commission and it is patently obvious from the narrative that Speer omits a great deal about what he really knew and felt concerning the Reich’s unsavoury aspects let alone his direct involvement. Since he claims much knowledge ex post facto (or when he does admit guilt writes that he should have known better or that he was under the Führer’s spell) he’s bound to leave much out. What he leaves in, however, is interesting, informative and readable. There are even moments of comedy such as when he was scheduled to give a speech concerning the opening of Berlin’s East-West Axis to the assembled signatories and party big-wigs. Hitler would then take over, expanding on the speech. As the much anticipated speech consisted of two very brief sentences, Hitler was caught unawares, utterly flummoxed, not knowing how to respond to such brevity.
Of particular interest to me was the effect of bombing as experienced by the Armaments Minister. Operation Gomorrah in 1943 was a real shock that, in his own words, put the fear of God in him. He reveals that the apocalyptic inferno visited upon Hamburg was precisely what the Reich had planned for London in 1940. He expresses genuine puzzlement that raids such as those on the Ruhr dams or Schweinfurt were not followed up: the damage inflicted by the Americans at Schweinfurt for example was far more significant than realised at the time. And why, after the dams were repaired at enormous cost was another small raid not repeated to smash them all over again? On a more personal note he divulges that he was transfixed by and unable to resist viewing the pyrotechnic spectacle of the Berlin raids from a flak tower: the searchlights, AA fire, masses of beautiful target indicators and parachute flares cascading down all created a scene that was compelling and unforgettable for him.
Inside the Third Reich takes the reader through the Second World War and all the Machiavellian scheming and jostling for power is laid bare. The final insane days in the Berlin bunker have always held a morbid appeal and Speer doesn’t disappoint the reader, either here or in relating the subsequent farce of the Flensburg Government and his eventual arrest.
Upper-middle-class from a prosperous Mannheim family, cultured and well-educated he clearly cut a more attractive figure than many others at the Nuremberg Trial. He also had longer than other defendants to prepare his own defence and took tranquilisers to steady his nerves when lying to the court. One thing’s for sure - he wasn’t an understudy for Truthful James. He was lucky to narrowly avoid a much-deserved hanging for his usage and organisation of slave labour in inhumane conditions. Small wonder he didn’t appeal his sentence. So, after twenty years rumination in Spandau he wrote this carefully guarded but fascinating narrative instead. After his release in 1966 he merged his memoirs with material from the Federal Archive for greater detail and authenticity.
This paperback book is well-bound, the font is clear, contains many photographs and detailed notes referring to each chapter so two bookmarks are advised.

Reviewed in Italy on 31 March 2017Verified Purchase
Uno dei libri piu' particolari che abbia letto negli ultimi anni, che da' una visione "da dentro" di molti aspetti del nazismo,
che e' molto inconsueta. Speer e' una personalita' complessa e uno scrittore molto abile, ed e' capace di sorvolare su molti
degli aspetti piu' controversi. Dopo aver letto questo libro ho letto anche "Albert Speer, his battle with the Truth" di Gitta Sereny che cerca di dare una visione meno parziale degli eventi. In ogni caso ne consiglio vivamente la lettura.

Unbelievable account.
Reviewed in Germany on 20 November 2014Verified Purchase
This is a must read!! And must have as a reference book. Not to gorget how it was. Unfortunately, tgere are many in the world now who did not learn the lessons of history. Fascism still exists and its bloody hands try to grab not only european countries but to spread into other parts of the world as well. Fascism is very much a survivor. It masks itself by using different names and tags to become unrecognizable and well hidden, but the beast lurks from inder the "socialist" policies, mass propaganda and mass culture still today. Highly recommended reading. A constant reminder of the nightmares of the Third Reich.
