Speer and coworkers, in a similar study of blood group antibodies of whole sera, used a series of gradients for elution from Aj.

Production designer Dennis Gassner was influenced by fascist architecture, particularly the work of Albert Speer, as well as Terry Gilliam's Brazil ( 1985 ), Frank Lloyd Wright and the Art Deco movement.

While Speer begins with his childhood, he spends most of the memoirs describing his work in the Nazi hierarchy.

According to Speer, even during the mid-1930s, after he attained dictatorial powers, Hitler had extremely unstable work habits that included staying up very late ( typically until 5: 00 or 6: 00 a. m .) and then sleeping until about noon, spending hours upon hours at meals and tea parties, and wasting both his time and that of colleagues with movies and long, boring monologues.

Before his death, Speer compared his work on behalf of the Nazis to that of a man who made a deal with the Devil.

Speer's supporters have sardonically noted that even historians who claim Speer is untrustworthy nonetheless incorporate the memoirs into their work.

This echoed the verdict of Gitta Sereny in her major work Albert Speer: His Battle With Truth.

No work was ever begun above ground although Speer did relocate the Siegesallee to another part of the Tiergarten in 1938 in preparation for the avenue's construction.

After heavy bomb attacks on Berlin caused a fire in the company's plant-administration buildings, factory production minister Albert Speer redistributed work and factories around the country to lessen the risk from a single attack.

Speer characterized Morell as an opportunist who, once he achieved status as Hitler's physician, became extremely careless and lazy in his work ; one who was more concerned with money and status rather than providing medical assistance.

Like Charlie Watts, Speer was one of many Australian musicians who began their career in jazz but later branched out into the pop / rock scene and, like other contemporary Australian jazz musicians who worked in popular music ( e. g. Bob Bertles, Bernie McGann, Warren Daly, Bobby Gebert, Don Burrows ) Speer was known for his ability to work across many musical genres.

Jazz historian Andrew Bisset records that on returning home in the early hours after gigs, Speer and his friends, including sax player Splinter Reeves, would "... sneak in through the back window so as not to wake his mother and stay up until breakfast trying to work the records out.

Speer continued to work in ' trad ' bands to earn a living, but he was a regular member of the Quintet until it split in 1960.

Bertles left to play with UK jazz-rock band Nucleus, Speer toured Europe with Alexis Korner, and Merritt was forced to fall back on his old trade and work as a bricklayer.

Her play Speer ( 1998 ) is a work of fictional biography about the German architect, Albert Speer, and has been staged in Berlin and London, directed by and starring Klaus Maria Brandauer.

Ironically, and without László's knowledge, some of his work appeared in Adolf Hitler's Eagle's Nest ( the Kehlsteinhaus ) near Berchtesgaden which infuriated Albert Speer, chief architect of the Third Reich and close advisor to Hitler.

On the recommendation of Albert Speer, in 1934 Schulte-Frohlinde went to work under Robert Ley's German Labour Front ( popularly known as the DAF, an abbreviation for Deutsche Arbeitsfront ).

Speer had forged a close relationship with Hitler, and in late 1936, Speer informed Wolters that the dictator would soon appoint Speer as Generalbauinspektor ( GBI ) or General Building Inspector for the Reich Capital, and suggested that Wolters resign his post with the railway and come work for him again.

Most of the Kindergarteners were not Nazi Party members, since Speer found that Party duties interfered with working time, and the Kindergarten was expected to work long hours.

In February 1945, as the Nazi regime collapsed, Speer instructed Wolters to take other high-ranking officials in his department, including Heinrich Lübke, and set up architectural offices in the north of Germany to work on large-scale prefabricated housing.

" On August 10, as the trial approached its conclusion, Speer, anticipating the likelihood of a death sentence, wrote to Wolters asking him to " collect my work together for later ages and to recount much of my life.

* Albert Speer — Minister of Armaments and War Production in Nazi Germany 1942 – 45.

Speer introduced economic reforms that the United States and Great Britain had implemented long before — namely, the full mobilization of factories for war purposes and the use of female workers.

Speer was given a blank cheque — Hitler stated that the cost of the project was immaterial — and was instructed that the building be of solid construction and that it be finished by the following January in time for the next New Year diplomatic reception to be held in the new building.

In early 1956, saxophonist and bop fanatic Brian Brown returned from Europe and formed a new band with like-minded players — Speer, trumpeter Keith Hounslow, schoolboy pianist Dave Martin and bassist Barry Buckley.

Merritt sustained severe head injuries, Bertles ' leg was smashed and Speer suffered multiple injuries — his legs were crushed, both arms were broken and he lost the tips of several fingers, resulting a four-month hospital stay and a long and painful rehabilitation.

The new Meteors were certainly an unlikely-looking group of rock stars — counter to the current trend, Merritt had close-cropped hair, and Speer was overweight, over 40 and greying, his bald pate covered by his ubiquitous cloth cap.

* Stewie Speer ( 1967 – 1976, 1980 ) — drums

Morris and Speer argued successfully that Khadr was a terrorist, not a soldier — so his actions were not an act of war, but terrorism, and were therefore not exempted from civil suits.

One problem, however, remained — Speer speculated that during cold weather, the breathing and perspiration of 180, 000 occupants in such a large and high dome might precipitate and fall back down.

Wolters and longtime Speer secretary Annemarie Kempf, while not permitted direct communication with Speer in Spandau, did what they could to help his family and carry out the requests Speer put in letters to his wife — the only written communication officially allowed Speer.

Wolters questioned Speer's readiness to accept responsibility for the Nazi regime's excesses and did not believe Speer had anything to apologise for, though the strength of his feelings on this point was kept from Speer — but not from Kempf and Riesser.

Wolters gave Speer's son Albert a summer job in his Düsseldorf office and a place to stay — in fact, Wolters hosted all six of the Speer children at one time or another.

By prior arrangement, he and Speer tried to get in touch with each other by telepathy one New Year's Eve — but both men fell asleep before midnight struck.

After the war, Albert Speer pointed out that the German economy achieved greater armaments output, not because of diversions of capacity from civilian to military industry, but through streamlining of the economy.

Thus early 1950s historian of fandom Jack Speer began to label successive generations of fans as First Fandom, Second Fandom, Third Fandom, and so forth ... all the way to Seventh Fandom and beyond.

In 1967, Gygax co-founded the International Federation of Wargamers ( IFW ) with Bill Speer and Scott Duncan.

All men between the ages of sixteen and sixty were required to join, over the protests of Armaments Minister Albert Speer, who noted that irreplaceable skilled workers were being removed from armaments production.

Himmler considered Speer to be an especially dangerous rival, both in the Reich administration and as a potential successor to Hitler.

Albert Speer notes that though Himmler seemed pedantic and insignificant on the surface, he was a good decision maker, had a talent for selecting highly competent staff, and successfully inserted the SS into every aspect of daily life.

The ammunition manufacturer Speer now offers the Gold Dot line, commercially loaded premium handgun ammunition using copper plated hollow point bullets.

A more useful ally was Albert Speer, a Hitler favourite who was appointed Armaments Minister in February 1942.

Goebbels and Speer worked through 1942 to persuade Hitler to dismiss Göring as economic head and allow the domestic economy to be run by a revived Cabinet headed by themselves.

Goebbels, Speer, Göring and Himmler all saw this proposal as a power grab by Bormann and a threat to their power, and combined to block it.

The alliance was shaky at best, mainly because during this period Himmler was still cooperating with Bormann to gain more power at the expense of Göring and most of the traditional Reich administration ; Göring's loss of power had resulted in an overindulgence in the trappings of power and his strained relations with Goebbels made it difficult for a unified coalition to be formed, despite the attempts of Speer and Göring's Luftwaffe deputy Field Marshal Erhard Milch, to reconcile the two Party comrades.

Goebbels hoped in this way to persuade Hitler to give him and his ally Speer control of domestic policy for a program of total commitment to arms production and full labour conscription, including women.

Goebbels and Speer were among the few Nazi leaders who were under no illusions about Germany ’ s dire situation.

In private, he was discouraged by the failure of his and Speer ’ s campaign to gain control of the home front.

As Germany ’ s military and economic situation grew steadily worse during 1944, Goebbels renewed his push, in alliance with Speer, to wrest control of the home front away from Göring.

This trio – Goebbels, Himmler and Speer – became the real centre of German government in the last year of the war, although Bormann used his privileged access to Hitler to thwart them when he could.

It was Goebbels, besieged in his Berlin flat with Speer and secretary Wilfred von Oven beside him but with his phone lines intact, who brought Otto Ernst Remer, the wavering commander of the Berlin garrison, to the phone to speak to Hitler in East Prussia, thus demonstrating that the Führer was alive and that the garrison should oppose the attempted coup.

Another problem was that although Speer and Goebbels were allies, their agendas conflicted: Speer wanted absolute priority in the allocation of labour to be given to arms production, while Goebbels sought to press every able-bodied male into the army.

Speer, allied with Fritz Sauckel, the General Plenipotentiary for the Employment of Labour from 1942, generally won these battles.

By July 1944, it was in any case too late for Goebbels and Speer ’ s internal coup to make any real difference to the outcome of the war.

According to Albert Speer in his book Spandau: The Secret Diaries, Hitler expressed admiration for Adenauer, noting his civic projects, the building of a road circling the city as a bypass, and a " green belt " of parks.

However, both Hitler and Speer concluded that Adenauer's political views and principles made it impossible for him to play any role in Nazi Germany.

The appointment of Albert Speer as Minister of Armaments increased production.
