I don't know anything about it's availability in english language, but this book offers a very detailed insight into the planned rebuilding of central Berlin.

If I recall correctly there have been a few threads on this earlier here in the forum, so try a search.

The book Leica mentions includes some excellent photos & illustrations. I've yet to read it so I can't say how good the text is.

I think, it is very interesting, that the son of Albert Speer now realizes the plans of his father for Berlin. But he doesn't make it in Berlin but in Peking. There he designed a giant axis, much bigger than the one in Berlin.

Thanks for the info guys. Were talking a huge building project here.
