In 1941 Speer’s architectural work stopped because of the War, but he became a Minister of Armament. He was very appreciated for his competence to manage the production but also famous for his position about manpower.
He exploited the prisoners of the concentration camps because he considered men like tools, useful only to develop line production; his priorities were factories and machineries.
