How's the fact that his dad was an architect during Nazism even remotely relevant to this discussion?

  He wasn't just an architect, he was Hitler's favoured architect and then promoted to run the entire wartime economy due to his ruthless efficiency. As such, he was the main guy in charge of the extensive Nazi use of slave labour.

    Again, how is this relevant?
    • contingencies 13y ago
      Err, the whole article is about slave labour? And his father is well documented as the greatest user of such in WWII? Thus, the like father like son discovery was a total surprise... hence my post sharing that revelation? How is this not obvious? Are you just trolling? Is it possible to write another post with this many question marks?

    The architect involved in the article has nothing to do with the "he" you are referring to. The are entirely independent people.

      It's a bit much to claim they're entirely independent people. Obviously they are not. However, Jr. seems to have spent his entire life trying to distance himself from the sins of his father, which is as good a thing as he could try to do. http://www.spiegel.de/international/spiegel/german-architect-albert-speer-plans-for-the-2022-world-cup-in-qatar-a-836154.html http://www.spiegel.de/international/spiegel/german-architect...
