Albert Speer (1905–1981) was the chief architect of Nazi Germany and later Minister of Armaments. The catalogue features the Schwerbelastungskörper (Heavy Load-Bearing Body) in Berlin — a massive concrete cylinder built in 1941 to test whether the marshy Berlin soil could support the colossal structures planned for Hitler's unrealised "Germania" project. The cylinder, which sank further than predicted, now serves as a memorial and documentation site for the megalomania of Nazi urban planning.
