Nazi architecture

Nazi architecture is the architecture of the Third Reich, 1933-1945. It is characterized by three forms: a stripped-down NeoClassicism (typified by the designs of Speer); a vernacular style that drew inspiration from traditional rural architecture, especially alpine; and a utilitarian style followed for major infrastructure projects and industrial or military complexes. Nazi ideology took a pluralist attitude to architecture; however, Hitler himself believed that form should follow function and wrote against "stupid imitations of the past".[1]
