I know you cant really go on a rant about capital punishment but geez, seriously. If i was going to be hung by some imperial American wankers who like to impose their version of democracy all over the world, regardless of the crimes id committed i wouldnt credit them with the knowledge. Commonly regarded as the 'liberators' their Nuremberg Trials were a mess. Speer at least had the brains to manipulate them into believing his little 'collective guilt' but dont hang me speel, and i think that says more about the incompetence of the allied powers trials than Speer himself. He might have been a liar, but in a court of fascists i dont think it matters much. Besides the Nazis were kinda cool... haha.. joke... but.. Speer had some valid points, and although lying is 'wrong' their are certain situations when a time demands it so i would say: Speer (SUPPORTING EVIDENCE) lied about the knowledge of the Nazi atrocities and his own direct involvement, however, to admit absolute guilt in the face of death would not only be a final tribute to the Fuhrer, as Goring insistently implied, to whom he has seemed to turn his back, but would result in a death, the 'pseudo-justice' of allied powers, who he had been convinced were the 'enemy' for the past (i dont know how many years) and would seem to a man of great insight and contemplative power, an extreme act of folly.
On that note. Hows it all going guys? and on another note. the modern history syllabis is way to big. I have brain cramp.
