}}'''Berthold Konrad Hermann Albert Speer''' (born 19 March 1905) is a German architect who serves as the Reich Minister of Armaments and War Production, and can potentially become Führer of the [[Greater Germanic Reich]]. He joined the NSDAP in 1931, becoming a member of [[Adolf_Hitler|Adolf Hitler's]] inner circle, as well as one of Hitler's closest personal allies. In the post-war years, and especially after the collapse of the German economy (and its subsequent reorganisingreorganizing as a slave-based system), he became a large proponent of economic liberalization, leading the Reformist faction of the NSDAP.

During the war, he lead the war production effort, and ended up using a large amount of forced labourlabor to achieve the high production that helped Germany win the war. With the victory in the war, Speer would become the leading architect of the entire nation, rebuilding Berlin as ''Germania'' in Hitler's vision, with such buildings as the Volkshalle.

With the collapse of the German economy and the end of the West Russian War, the German economy became far more dependent on slave labourlabor from the eastern Reichskommissariats. This would turn Speer away from the slave labourlabor system that he used during the war, and he instead became a proponent of liberalizing the German economy, becoming the leader of the reformist faction, contenting with less extreme NSDAP members on one side, and the more radical Gang of Four on the other, a collection of leading liberally-minded politicians.
