Albert Speer (1905–1981) was a German architect who served as the Reich's Minister of Armaments and War Production for [Nazi Germany](/places/nazi-germany/) during [World War II](/events/world-war-ii/). He was a close confidant of [Adolf Hitler](/people/adolf-hitler/)[^1].

While serving a life sentence in Spandau prison, Speer recounted [Rudolf Hess](/people/rudolf-hess/)'s motivation for his rogue flight to Scotland in May 1941. Speer wrote in *Inside the Third Reich* that "Hess assured me in all seriousness that the idea had been inspired in him in a dream by supernatural forces"[^1].

Speer also noted [Adolf Hitler](/people/adolf-hitler/)'s reaction to [Heinrich Himmler](/people/heinrich-himmler/)'s interest in the occult, quoting Hitler as saying, "What nonsense! Here we have at last reached an age that has left all mysticism behind it, and now he [Himmler] wants to start that all over again. We might just as well have stayed with the church"[^1].
