The Slave State is the only book about the SS written by a high-ranking official within the 3rd Reich. During the WWII Albert Speer was Hitler's Minister for Armaments & War Production. He set out to tell the story of German armaments in the war. His researches led him to the SS records. They included the correspondence of its chief, Heinrich Himmler. Part I: The SS and the Self-Responsibility of Industry Part II: Threats and Efforts Part III: The Failure of the Economic Empire Part IV: The Fate of the Jews Epilogue: The Sombre Final Victory
Albert Speer served two decades imprisonment for war crimes committed while he served in the German Nazi government, most prominently as Minister for Armaments and War Production. His memoir of that, emphasizing his relationship with Hitler, was published as Inside the Third Reich. Unlike others on the dock in Nuremburg, Speer accepted some responsibility and expressed remorse for his use of slave labor during the war. This book continues the critical self-examination of his memoir and subsequent Prison Diaries, but it is more than that. Its focus is on the conflicts between his ministry, given the exigencies of war and retreat, and the offices of the SS, seen as incompetent competitors intent on establishing a state within the state. As such, it's a technocratic defence of his own actions as a minister of state and an attack on Heinrich Himmler, his apparatus and the irrationalities of the Nazi regime.
