Mit dem Flughafen Tempelhof und dem Reichsluftfahrtministerium in Berlin hat Ernst Sagebiel zwei Schlüsselbauten der Architektur im Nationalsozialismus errichtet. Weitere bedeutende Anlagen wie die Flughäfen München-Riem und Stuttgart-Echterdingen folgten. Weitgehend unbekannt war bisher, daß Sagebiel eine steile Karriere als Beamter der Bauabteilung des Reichsluftfahrtministeriums gemacht hat und bis in Görings engsten Mitarbeiterstab aufgestiegen ist. Sein Aufstieg wurde jedoch gebremst, nachdem der von Adolf Hitler als Generalbauinspektor für die Reichshauptstadt eingesetzte Albert Speer mit seiner Linie eines monumentalen Klassizismus bestimmend wurde. Ernst Sagebiels Bauten nehmen dagegen in ihrer höchst eigenen Mischung aus Moderne und Monumentalität eine Sonderstellung innerhalb des nationalsozialistischen Bauens ein.

The redevelopment of historical centres became an important policy field in the era of European dictatorships following the First World War. At that time historical centres were regarded as shabby and as tarnishing the desired image of a magnificent new city, of a showcase of the dictatorship. This led to the widespread demolition of older buildings. Historical streets and squares disappeared and were replaced by new apartments and workplaces for the loyal middle classes, by car-friendly roads and ostentatious new buildings. Nevertheless, the redevelopment of historical centres did not exclusively mean the eradication of the ‘old town’. The aim of the dictatorship in many cases was also the preservation, and often the cultic display, of historical testimonials to past greatness.The book presents examples of the redevelopment of historical centres in Mussolini’s Italy (Rome, Brescia, Bologna, Naples), in Stalin’s Soviet Union (Moscow), in Hitler’s Germany (Berlin), in Salazar’s Portugal (Lisbon, Évora, Óbidos) and in Franco’s Spain (Madrid, Toledo, Barcelona, Zaragoza, Santillana del Mar). These are followed by a brief summary of the history of the redevelopment of historical centres in Europe. This volume represents the very first attempt to identify the commonalities and differences in the redevelopment of historical centres in dictatorships in Europe in the first half of the 20th century.

In his best-selling autobiography, Albert Speer, Minister of Armaments and chief architect of Nazi Germany, repeatedly insisted he knew nothing of the genocidal crimes of Hitler's Third Reich. In this revealing new biography, author Martin Kitchen disputes Speer's lifelong assertions of ignorance and innocence, portraying a far darker figure who was deeply implicated in the appalling crimes committed by the regime he served so well. Kitchen reconstructs Speer's life with what we now know, including information from valuable new sources that have come to light only in recent years, challenging the portrait presented by earlier biographers and by Speer himself of a cultured technocrat devoted to his country while completely uninvolved in Nazi politics and crimes. The result is the first truly serious accounting of the man, his beliefs, and his actions during one of the darkest epochs in modern history, not only countering Speer's claims of non-culpability but also disputing the commonly held misconception that it was his unique genius alone that kept the German military armed and fighting long after its defeat was inevitable.
