Albert Speer was a German architect active during the 1930s. (AUDIO: A Thousand Tiny Wings) He was a member of Adolf Hitler's inner circle. In 1945, he visited the Führerbunker and offered help to Eva Braun to leave Berlin, which she declined.

Speer's subsequent attempts to deflect responsibility and portray himself as the "good Nazi" led rise to what is known as "".
