Inside the Third Reich (first published in German in 1969, in English in 1970) is a
memoir written by
Albert Speer, the
Nazi Minister of Armaments from 1942 to 1945, serving as
Adolf Hitler's main architect before this period. It is considered to be one of the most detailed descriptions of the inner workings and leadership of
Nazi Germany but is controversial because of Speer's lack of discussion of
Nazi atrocities and questions regarding his degree of awareness or involvement with them.
