This photo was taken in April or May 1943, when Hitler presented the Fritz Todt Ring der Deutschen Technik to Albert Speer for his "extraordinary efforts in procuring weapons and ammunition". The ring is in the silver case, which is what Speer is holding. The top of the case (not visible here) had a plaque with Dr. Todt's likeness on it.

It would be nice to see a better view of the case and of the ring itself. I'll see if I can find anything in the various wartime publications relating to Speer and his Ministry...

Hello!

This picture is taken in FHQu "Wehrwolf" and dates from 06 - 09 March 1943. The picture published here is a typical "corrected" one; check my pic as attached.

Hitler had regular meetings with Albert Speer to discuss all kind of items regarding industry, armament, construction etc. During this meeting, the "800,000 - men Program" was discussed.

I am the author of a very exhaustive book on FHQu "Wehrwolf" (to be published soon).

Regards - Martin

Several posts were split off into a new thread entitled "Wehrwolf or Werwolf?".
