Speer was the Nazi minister of armaments. It was he who presented the Fuhrer with a grandiose vision for rebuilding Berlin as a city befitting a conqueror’s Thousand Year Reich. He dramatically increased the manufacture of weapons. This was achieved as a result of Speer’s use of prisoners of war and 7.5 million slave labourers. (Daily Mail)
