Your favourite little piece of history

:bump:
Studying Albert Speer, I came across my new favourite piece of history.
In the closing stages of the war, Albert Speer was Minister for Economy in the Dönitz government. However, at the same time, he was a prisoner of the Americans, as they interrogated him about Germany's armaments industry and the 'armaments miracle'. This ridiculous situation is described by Matthias Schmidt as:
The resulting situation was grotesque: From May 10 to May 25, a still officiating minister of the German Reich, 'at liberty', was divulging secrets of the German armaments industry to the enemy.
Every afternoon, when Speer returned to Glücksburg Castle from the daily cabinet meeting, the interviewers, who then questioned him for hours, couldbe certain of hearing his opinion on the latest session of the Dönitz team. "A bad movie comedy" or "poor theater" were some of his barbs.
Just something I though I ought to share. :D
