ALBERT SPEER
(1905-1981) German architect, Adolf Hitler's personal chief architect and minister for armaments and war production. Speer expanded slave labor, supplied mainly from concentration camps. Convicted at Nuremberg and served a 20-year sentence at Spandau Prison in West Berlin. Autographed letter signed, on his personal letterhead, three pages, 6 x 8 inches, Heidelberg, December 27, 1975, in English to American friends, in part 'I hoped to see you in Germany for a long, long talk. Many thanks for your invitation to George Mason University. I am slightly considering, to go for a few weeks to the U.S. next autumn (1976)...The book starts in February or March (76)...would look like being my own sales manager...Wernher von Braun wrote me a few weeks ago...Do you see him one? He was very sick but is better now...By the way, we have a nice farm close to the Alpine mountains in Bavaria.' Signed in blue ink 'Albert'. Small staple holes top left, mailing folds.
