Role:

Other Cast:
Sebastian Koch, Dagmar Manzel, Eva Haßmann, Peter Rühring, André
Hennicke
Plot from German Cinema: the first part is a `war movie' showing
Speer as Hitler's minister who goes from wielding immeasurable power
to his downfall in a Nuremberg cell, a man who betrays his friend
Hitler and then reinvents himself as a way of personal survival. In
the second part, the focus is on the war crimes trials in Nuremberg
as a classic `courtroom drama' with a fascinating mix of authentic
newsreel footage and staged scenes. Accused of being one of the
leading war criminals, Speer successfully distances himself from the
Fuehrer's inner circle and presents himself as a kind of `gentleman
Nazi' who was apparently oblivious to the Nazis' campaign of
genocide. Meanwhile, the third episode - a `prison drama' -
concentrates on Speer's 20 years in prison in Spandau and a further
metamorphosis by Speer into the writer of bestsellers where the line
between fact and fiction becomes blurred once more.
