...wisdom of France's aperçu let him examine these stark entries. Albert Speer, author of the bestseller Inside the Third Reich, has unique credentials for speculation on the nature of evil and culpability. The architect was literally the Master Builder of the Third Reich and Hitler's Minister of Armaments and War Production. It was in his ministerial capacity that Speer employed some 5 million slave laborers; it was for that role that he was sentenced at the Nuremberg trials to long imprisonment...
Spellbound Lover. His fellow prisoners, the great German admirals Raeder and Doenitz, squabble like jealous ensigns; the disintegrating Rudolph Hess, once Hitler's deputy, malingers and throws fits to garner pity.

In 1943 Mengele had the foresight to ask the Führer for blood and skin samples...
...embryonic Adolfs are brought to term in the wombs of compliant Indian women, then sent to Rio and put on the world adoption market. Mengele schemes to place them with families in Europe and North America that most closely resemble the parental environment of the original Hitler. The principal qualification: mothers have to be much younger than the fathers-retired civil servants who must die when the ditto Hitlers are about 14 years old. If nature does not take its course, killers are sent to eliminate the old men. Having manipulated both nature and nurture, Mengele hopes that at least...
