Formerly Hitler's architect, Albert Speer became the undisputed master of the German war machine and was responsible for conscripted foreign labour in the Third Reich. Sentenced at Nuremberg after pleading guilty - the only defendant to do so - he began to keep this secret diary (much of it written on toilet paper) to save himself from being tormented by his demons.
