Speer Goes to Hollywood background

Speer Goes to Hollywood

Top Nazi official Albert Speer oversaw the labor of 12 million slaves, yet attempted to revamp his reputation by converting his memoir into a Hollywood film in 1971.

Albert Speer, Hitler's chief architect and one of his closest confidants, was spared the death sentence at Nuremberg. Despite being responsible for 12 million slave laborers, he is often referred to as "the good Nazi" due to his self-constructed reputation. The film follows Speer as he works on a screenplay based on his memoir, using unpublished audio cassettes recorded by screenwriter Andrew Birkin. The audio is supplemented by rare archival footage, creating a narrative that provides ironic and chilling tension.
