Speer & Hitler: The Devil's Architect

Drama, Germany 2005

Thanks to a film showing the atrocities in the concentration camps and the indictment, Albert Speer begins to admit his complicity in Hitler's crimes. As the second (middle) part of the documentary series, “The Trial” features the entire cast of the Nuremberg war crimes trials in an exciting juxtaposition of authentic film transcripts and re-enactments. Speer incriminates old party comrades, including Fritz Sauckel, makes enemies among the ranks of the accused, but also gains a sympathizer in US prosecutor Robert H. Jackson. Despite his denial, he remembers his visits to the Dora-Mittelbau concentration camp and how he once approved the expansion of Auschwitz.
