    Criticism of Speer’s success in armament production focuses on the human ‘cost’, much of the increase of armament production rested on the exploitation of foreign workers and the prisoners of war, whom were kept under horrific conditions. In the Nuremburg trials Albert Speer claimed that the appropriation of the workers was the responsibility of Fritz Saukel, his deputy. Fritz Saukel was known for being ruthless while carrying out his work, he wrote in his memorandum to his officials, “all men must be fed, housed and treated in such a way as to exploit them to the greatest possible extent at the absolute minimum of expenditure.” Although Speer only got 20 years at the Nuremburg trials and Fritz Saukel was sentenced to death it was Albert Speer as the minister who was responsible for the number of workers that were used and even the conditions in which they were forced to work in.…

    Speer’s membership into the Nazi Party on 1 March 1931 as member #474,481 was the indisputable cornerstone of his future success. Joining the Nazi Party because of Hitler’s “magnetic force” and “peculiar magic”, Speer was able to escape the worries of post-depression and gain professional advancement. However, his initial role in the party was minute, extending no further than driving party members to meetings and rallies. However, his luck changed upon acquainting Karl Hanke, who gave him the job of redecorating Goebbel’s headquarters in Voss Strasse. Here, Speer proved his ability to get a job done well in a limited time period. As a result of impressing Nazi party leadership, Speer was appointed Commissioner for the Artistic and Technical Presentation of Party Rallies and Demonstrations, and later head of the Building Department of Deputy Fuhrer. Therefore, as Speer himself states, “this coincidence [was] the luckiest turning point in my [Speer’s] life”.…

    The Nuremburg Trial outcome is our vital evidence that Albert Speer was a man who was corrupted by the events at the time. He is the epitome of the saying “events shape people more than people shape events” as he merely rode the wave of Nazism. As German historian Joachim Fest stated, “He [Hitler] drew Speer to him like no one else, he singles him out and made him great” (Fest, The Face of Third Reich, pg 340). In any other situation it is inconceivable that an architect could have come to hold the title of Minister of Armaments and War Production. The event of Nazi Germany transformed an architect, whose destiny seemingly lay in continuing the family business, to a man answerable only to the ‘Fuhrer’. Albert Speer did not shape Nazi Germany: Nazi Germany shaped Speer.…

    Albert Speer Essay

    Originally an architect Albert Speer strove to transform Germany into Hitler’s dream, the imperial capital of the Third Reich. By designing Goebbels HQ and later ministry, the Nuremburg Trials and the Reich Chancellery Speer managed to accomplice this in a suitably Neo-classical style. Gitta Sereny claims "He was ecstatic upon entering Hitler's service…blinkered from the very beginning to Hitler's monstrous obsessions; oblivious to the suffering they would immediately cause."Although there are serious questions about Sereny’s objectivity due to her closeness to Speer, this is a commonly held belief among many other historians/authors including William Shirer and Alan Bullock. Speer’s successes in these designs progressed him along the Nazi party and therefore are negative in the long run but initially provided confidence and jobs to other Germans.…

    As people look back to past experiences in their life what do they want to remember? Do they want to remember a wonderful life full of expieriences, or a life where they never really lived?

Alfred Prufrock manifests through the narrator as he truly embodies the realistic fact that some people out there are introverted, living in fear, and worrying to much about what society does not approve of them. Life is not going to live for one, one must live for life.…
