text: Albert Speer, the son of an architect, was born in Mannheim on 19th March, 1905. After studying architecture at the Munich Institute of Technology and at the Berlin-Charlottenburg Institute, he became an architect in 1927.\n\n\nAlbert Speer is said to have prolonged the war for at least a year, with the consequent death of hundreds of thousands and widespread ruin. It also gave the Nazis more time to pursue their mass murder of Jews, Russians, Gypsies and others deemed not fit to live.\nHere are some wonderful sites from where you can get all the information you want about Speer.\nhttp://www.dataphone.se/~ms/speer/welcom.htm\nhttp://www.auschwitz.dk/Speer.htm\nhttp://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/GERspeer.htm\nhttp://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcfour/features/hitlers-helpers.shtml
