Based on "Spandau: The Secret Diaries" by Albert Speer, translated by Richard Winston and Clara Winston with John Franklyn-Robbins as No 5, Albert Speer.
On 30 September 1966 Speer was released from Spandau prison. He had completed the full term of 20 years to which he had been sentenced as a Nazi War Criminal. Speer had been firstly Hitler's chief architect and then, from 1942, responsible for the manufacture and supply of German arms.
While in prison he remained productive. He wrote two books, both in part self examinations. He kept mentally and physically fit by walking around the prison garden while pretending he was walking round the world.
