Ce petit plus c'est le ricanement devant la légende construite par Speer... qui était indubitablement un pauvre type et un incroyable menteur. ( ) "National Socialism was both modern and atavistic, divided within itself and unable to reconcile its inherent contradictions. Albert Speer is a personification of this ambiguity. As Minister of Armaments he stood for modern technology, mass production, rationalization, big business and unrestrained capitalism--even though subject to certain wartime controls. As Hitler's Haussman and Le Nôtre, he planned to build massive atavistic cult monuments that were a defiant rejection of modernity." (p 33) Elsewhere, he quotes Thomas Mann as saying "...the really characteristic and dangerous aspect National Socialism was the mixture of robust modernity and an affirmative stance towards progress combined with dreams of the past: a high technological romanticism".

"In his best-selling autobiography, Albert Speer, Minister of Armaments and chief architect of Nazi Germany, repeatedly insisted he knew nothing of the genocidal crimes of Hitler's Third Reich. In this revealing new biography, author Martin Kitchen disputes Speer's lifelong assertions of ignorance and innocence, portraying a far darker figure who was deeply implicated in the appalling crimes committed by the regime he served so well. Kitchen reconstructs Speer's life with what we now know, including information from valuable new sources that have come to light only in recent years, challenging the portrait presented by earlier biographers and by Speer himself of a cultured technocrat devoted to his country while completely uninvolved in Nazi politics and crimes. The result is the first truly serious accounting of the man, his beliefs, and his actions during one of the darkest epochs in modern history, not only countering Speer's claims of non-culpability but also disputing the commonly held misconception that it was his unique genius alone that kept the German military armed and fighting long after its defeat was inevitable"-- Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
