Albert Speer
Early life
Wanted to study mathematics but he was convinced to study architecture like his father and grandfather at the University of Karlsruhe, rather than a better university due to the inflation rates in 1923 and how they affected his parents' income.
After finishing university at the University of Berlin in 1927, he became his professor's - who he looked up to - assistant.
Speer said he was political when he was young, and attended a Nazi rally in 1930. He applied for the Nazi Party in March 1931.
He was recommended by a Nazi official to Joseph Goebbels to renovate Nazi party's Berlin base. He took up this offer and completed the renovations, moving back home upon completion.
Speer was asked by the officials of the Nuremberg Rally asked Speer to submit designs for the rally, which is when he first spoke to hitler.
He was asked by the Nazi Party to renovate the chancellery, and from there joined the Nazi Party and worked for them.
