...being in a position to know and nevertheless shunning knowledge creates direct responsibility for the consequences... Albert Speer
Hitler's dictatorship was the first of an industrial estate in this age of modern technology, a dictatorship which employed to perfection the instruments of technology to dominate its own people. By means of such instruments of technology, eighty million persons could be made subject to the will of one individual. Telephone, teletype, radio, made it possible to transmit the commands of the highest levels directly to the lowest organs where they were executed uncritically Albert Speer
The communications apparatus at headquarters was remarkable...It was possible to communicate directly with all important theaters of the war...They could be directed from Hitler's table in the situation room.

One seldom recognizes the devil when he is putting his hand on your shoulder. Albert Speer
Cases of sickness made up a very small percentage which in my opinion was normal. However, propaganda pamphlets dropped from aircraft were telling the workers to feign illness, and detailed instructions were given to them on how to do it. Albert Speer
Albert Speer quote: "I would rather not tell you here things which every German has..."
I would rather not tell you here things which every German has at heart. Albert Speer
In all my activities as Armament Minister I never once visited a labor camp, and cannot, therefore, give any information about them. Albert Speer
All I know is that these two gases both had a quite extraordinary effect, and that there was no respirator, and no protection against them that we knew of. So the soldiers would have been unable to protect themselves against this gas in any way. Albert Speer
Albert Speer quote: "No doubt concentration camps were a means, a menace used to..."
No doubt concentration camps were a means, a menace used to keep order. Albert Speer
Albert Speer quote: "It is certain that concentration camps had a bad reputation..."
It is certain that concentration camps had a bad reputation with us. Albert Speer
