ISBN: 9780026128209.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the more often quoted phrases uttered during the Nuremberg Trials was by this author when he stated “I suppose if Adolph Hitler had ever had a friend, I would have been that friend.” Trained as an architect, Speer came to the attention of Adolph Hitler in the early 1930’s. From that point onward, Speer rose through the ranks ultimately becoming the second most important man in the Reich. As an individual, Speer was not politically inclined toward any faction and acted only when it appeared his own work was being threatened. As a result, Speer was able to observe the inner circle of Hitler’s Nazi elite in an objective and sometimes harsh light. From the drug addict Goering to the eccentric Hess – he paints a picture of this inner circle that reveals a group interested only in serving self- interests with fighting the war nothing more than a means to an end.
