Description from the seller

Full leather decorated binding, excellent condition, 2 stamps on the front flyleaf (see image).

Albert Speer (born March 19, 1905, Mannheim, Baden, Germany—died September 1, 1981, London, England) was a German architect who was Adolf Hitler’s chief architect (1933–45) and minister for armaments and war production (1942–45).

Speer studied at the technical schools in Karlsruhe, Munich, and Berlin, and obtained an architectural license in 1927. After hearing Hitler speak at a Berlin rally in late 1930, he enthusiastically joined the Nazi Party (January 1931) and impressed the Führer with his efficiency and talent so much that, soon after Hitler became chancellor, Speer became his personal architect. He was rewarded with many important commissions, including grand plans to rebuild all of Berlin (which were never realized) and the design of the parade grounds, searchlights, and banners for the spectacular Nürnberg party congress of 1934, filmed by Leni Riefenstahl in Triumph of the Will.
