The Death of Albert Speer - Mysterious Mistress Cover Up?​

Feb 22, 2026
In September 1981, former Nazi Armaments Minister Albert Speer died in a London hospital after suffering a stroke in his hotel room in the company of his young mistress. That woman's name has never been made public. My investigation suggests that her identity has been deliberately suppressed for 44 years. Why? We don't know, but it remains a fact that no document mentions her name, which is very odd. I set out to discover her name and unravel the curious suppression of information concerning Speer's two visits to London and his death there.
